This is a great review of the "new" Roger Tory Peterson Field Guide to Birds of North America. Those who have all the Peterson guides (like I do) probably won't find too much new here, although there are changes. The review is honest, critisizes, and praises where it needs to. It sounds like the book is more of a [Peterson] 100th birthday celebration than an attempt to compete with newer guides. Even though I own all the other books (I grew up birding with them) I'll probably have to buy this book too, just because it's part of the RTP legacy. Peterson was a pioneer.
