The best is Brian K. Wheeler, Raptors of Western / Eastern North America (2 vols., Princeton UP). I also very much like Jerry Liguori's Hawks from Every Angle (Princeton UP) and the wonderful Hawks in Flight by Pete Dunne, Clay Sutton, and David Sibley (Houghton Mifflin, if rightly I recall). Hawks in Flight is really an essential book for anyone interested in developing flight identifcation skills in any avian group.

I do not (yet) now the wheeler books but I've read that the western edition has all the birds of the eastern edition except one species (I think the Snail Kite). so if you want to get just one, you should probably get the western edition. but then you will probably only have maps from the west too.
I will soon order my own copy of the western edition because I hope to visit
the US again as soon as possible.
