I suppose I didn't read the description closely enough, but instead of a booklet this is really just a brochure. A multi-folded 8" x 22" sheet of laminated card stock with bright, colored illustrations of birds with a very brief description. They are divided into categories such as "waterfowl","nearshore & wding birds", and "perching birds" among others. It is a good basic guide, emphasis on BASIC.

I have a few of these field reference folding guides and have been pleased with most of them. This one is decent enough, with color pictures and some information. The main flaw with the guide is that it does not include pictures of both sexes; making it essentially half as effective as it could be. That's why I'm giving it 3 stars.

A very handy reference guide when you don't want to bring the book. We also got Sibley's Eastern Warblers fold out card.
