The culmination of many years of research, observation, and study, The New Stokes Field Guide to Birds: Eastern Region is factually, visually, and organizationally superior to any other photographic field guide available. This easy-to-use guide features 545 North American bird species and more than 2000 stunning color photographs. And yet it's portable enough to fit in your pocket! The photographs cover all significant plumages, including male, female, summer, winter, immature, morphs, important subspecies, and birds in flight.
The New Stokes Field Guide to Birds: Eastern Region includes:
- the newest scientific and common names and phylogenetic order
- special help for identifying birds in flight through important clues of behavior, plumage, and shape
- detailed descriptions of songs and calls
- important behavioral information and key habitat preferences
- the newest range maps, detailing species' winter, summer, year-round ranges, and migration routes
Whether you are a novice or experienced birder, this new Stokes guide will take your birding to the next level.
This book supersedes Stokes Field Guide to Birds: Eastern 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."
