	The Sibley Guide to Birds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sibley Guide to Birds is a guide for the identification of birds found in the North American region as defined by the American Birding Association.
		The region also includes offshore waters that are either within 200 miles (320 kilometers), or halfway to the nearest land that is not part of the North American region, whichever is closer.
		The guide was written and illustrated by David Allen Sibley, who is unrelated to Charles Sibley.

		Sibley depicts and annotates 810 species and 350 regional populations, showing their stages, forms, shapes, colors, and markings.
		The entire birding world, from expert ornithologists to backyard enthusiasts, has been waiting for David Sibley’s work to be made available in a field-usable form.
		This guide is certain to quickly become and long remain the definitive and indispensable reference tool for the identification and understanding of North American birds.

		Those accustomed to flash-photo magazine cover shots of birds blown up 1000 times life size may not appreciate the almost spare nature of some of the paintings, but given their purpose as guides to plumages rather than magazine covers the illustrations are outstanding.
		Sibley differs from the NGS guide in labeling birds according to their geographical population rather than to official subspecies.
		Perhaps in future additions the Sibley guide maps could be improved by a range of birders from each state--giving the maps a greater precision and value as a guide to bird distribution.

		Like the companion guide to Western Birds which I rely on heavily, this is one of the definitive pocket-size field guides for birders in the East.
		Sibley's is more "top down" with general information by family while Kaufman's is organized by species, more like a traditional field guide--which makes for easy reference when you know what bird you want information on.
		Please note that birds on their nests are a precious resource and some species are easily disturbed and will abandon their nests and possibly their chicks and give up their chance to breed if you disturb them.

		"Birds are beautiful," the author writes in the preface, "their colors, shapes, actions, and sounds are among the most aesthetically pleasing in nature." Pleasing, too, is this comprehensive guide to their identification.
		These multiple images of single species are the guide's most attractive feature; they let Sibley show some birds in several poses, as well as important seasonal and regional, juvenile and mature, breeding and nonbreeding, or male and female versions of the same bird.
		If Kaufman's guide belongs in birders' coat pockets, Sibley's big, detailed book belongs on their desks; it's easy to imagine birders rushing to Sibley's guide to check details of plumage or to confirm an ID the smaller guide has helped them make.

		This is the first guide to the birds of Cuba since the 1975 publication of the very serviceable Catálogo de las Aves de Cuba, also co-authored by Orlando Garrido.
		However, the current guide, which is user-friendly in size and weight, is the most comprehensive and fully illustrated reference to the more than 350 birds that live in or spend part of the year in Cuba.
		It is a stand-alone guide which will not only be valuable to birders visiting Cuba but can also play an important role in educating Cubans about their rich birdlife, its vulnerability, and the necessity of preserving avian habitat.

		Say the bird occurs regularly in part of the state, it appears that he then does not put green dots for the rest of the state, where it is rare.
		Sibley has tilted many of them uphill to fit them on the page, and then he spread their tails out wide to show you the pattern, which you’d not usually see in normal flight.
		Sibley has already been criticized for using distributional names for subspecies rather than the subspecies names, and this is one of several cases in which I’m not entirely sure which subspecies he depicts.

	AIGA Design Archives: Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Eastern/Western North America (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The bestselling Sibley Guide to Birds is the most comprehensive single-volume guide to the birds of the United States and Canada and is widely used by birding enthusiasts in the identification of bird species.
		Birds in the original Sibley guide are presented in two vertical columns per page; species names, measurements, and very brief descriptive information are set at the top of each column, illustrations are placed below this text, and the voice description and range map are set at the bottom of the column.
		The smaller trim size of the new field guides rendered this vertical column presentation impossible: the narrower width did not allow illustrations to be placed side by side, and the shorter height did not provide space for the expanded descriptive text.
