Does Just What It's Supposed To

This is a great little book. I moved to Utah a little over two years ago and wanted something to tell me what I was looking at outside my window. The organization-by-color system makes it quite easy to find what you're looking for; and I like that, if males and females fall into different color categories, they appear in both. The photographs are good. The author does say that not every bird in Utah is here, just the ones that you are likely to see. So far, so good, except for one large hawk-like guy I saw in our tree in the middle of blizzard--never could find him/her, but then all that snow . . .

Great identification guide for the back yard bird watcher

I have a couple of Stan Tekiela's books, and I think they're great. In particular, I like the way they are organized. The sections are organized by color and from smallest bird to largest within each section, so it makes identification much easier than a book that is in alphabetical order. I've seem some people criticize this method, but how are you supposed to look up a bird alphabetically if you don't know what it is to begin with? All in all, a very useful book. I have some others, but this is always the first one I go to when I see a new bird that I don't recognize.

Birds of Utah

Birds of Utah is the best book. You can look up birds by color to help you identify them. I would recommend this.

Fabulous

This book is well organized and the information is very helpful. I love all of the Field Guides we have by Stan Tekeila.
