- detailed descriptions of songs and calls
- important behavioral information and key habitat preferences

Whether you are a novice or experienced birder, this new Stokes guide will take your birding to the next level.
Please note, this book supersedes Stokes Field Guide to Birds: Western Region, published in 1996.

"[...] The New Stokes Field Guide to Birds: Eastern Region and Western Region are very nice photographic field guides. If you like the big Stokes guide, but wish you could take it birding with you, then you'll be happy with the appropriate regional one. Conversely, if you have the big one but have no desire to use it as a primary field guide, then the lack of new material make the regionals unnecessary for you. And what if you don't have the big one? Get it! It is the best general photographic reference for North American birds, and one of the books I'd recommend to all NA birders. And then if you find you'd like to use it in the field, get your regional one as well."
