I was pretty impressed with the Autubon Society Field Guide. Good pics of specimens, well laid out, easy reading. It has its limitations, but a must have for the layman.

In my opinion, Peterson's field guide is much better. It also has excellent plates but each plate points out a distinguishing feature and it contains juvenile plates too. I have both and use both but I have worn through 2 of my petersons guides and am working on a third copy because I use it so much in the field.
