It is highly readable, uses as few scientific terms as possible without losing meaning, and is often fun to read. . . . The text is also meticulously cross-referenced, meaning that if a species is compared to another species, the page number of that bird’s description is given. This is a level of detail I seldom see in field guides.\" — Donna Lynn Schulman, \u003ci\u003e10,000 Birds\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eTed Floyd\u003c\/b\u003e is the longtime editor of \u003ci\u003eBirding\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, the award-winning\u003cbr\u003eflagship publication of the American Birding Association (ABA).
