This worked very well for a whaling trip I went on. I took a grease pencil with me that I tied to a hole I punched in the top of the guide. This way, no matter how much water got sprayed on us, I could still underline or circle the birds I saw so that I could later enter them in bird. The problem with the guide was that it only had about half of the birds I saw in it. It wasn't very comprehensive but I guess you have to expect that with a folding guide.
I misunderstood, I thought this was a book. It is a sheet folded in 3. It only shows the males of a few different birds in S. CA. not what I was expecting. Not all that helpful when my sons are just beginners in bird watching.
This California bird guide is great! It is ultra light and can be tucked into a pocket or back pack. It's coated in plastic, so water, sweat or anything wet will not destroy it. I also wished I would have bought a book called BIRDS OF CALIFORNIA by STAN TEKIELA. I regretted it, every day, for 9 days When I got back to my room, it would have given me fine point details and I could have looked up the more uncommon birds.
Pretty little pictures of some birds. Not very useful as a guide for identifying more than general categories of birds. Definitely an introductory guide. Nice waterproof plastic cover.
