Reviews

This volume stands out as a companion to traditional field guides... A wealth of information.

This sturdy volume will be the main reference for all New York birders, whatever their level of expertise. Recommended for general readers, undergraduates through faculty.

The new version of Bull's Birds is a necessary purchase for public and academic libraries in New York and adjacent states. It would be a useful purchase for birding libraries everywhere.

The most current and most complete documentation available of the status and distribution of birds of New York.... Emanuel Levine and the authors have put together a book that provides documentation of interest to the serious birder, interesting tidbits for the most casual birdwatcher, and food for thought for professional resource managers. Everyone with an interest in birds of New York should clear a space on their bookshelves for this volume which will become an invaluable reference.

Readers will find new and thorough accounts of all 451 species on the official state checklist, as well as date parameters and frequency of occurrence.

In summary, the new Bull revision is a handsome specimen. This revision of a classic text will be a valuable resource to experts, a learning guide for intermediate birders, and a goldmine of information for the beginner.

Birders and ornithologists in New York State will want to include this book in their libraries.
