Hi,
I'd like to buy a guide of European birds, and one of North America birds. As I live in Argentina I wont be using it in the field, so size/weight is not a matter of consideration. For what I have read in other post it seams that "The complete guide to birds of Europe" (hardcover) by Svensson is the right choice for Europe, but for the North American guide the opinions are not unanimous. Many North American birds (Flycatchers, Shorebirds, terns) "visit" us during your winter, so alternate plumage drawings would be nice. What do you think you be the best choise: NatGeo 4th edition? Sibley's field guide to birds?
Thanks in advance for your help!
