A first-rate compilation with good analysis and interpretation valuable for eastern libraries beyond the Pennsylvania region; highly recommended.(Library Journal) It serves as the new standard reference for Pennsylvania birding.(Levittown-Bristol (PA) Courier Times) The Birds of Pennsylvania is the most complete and up-to-date work on Pennsylvania's bird life, and the distribution and status of those species. This is a very important and long-overdue reference work which will be the baseline from which future ornithological observations in the state will be judged. It will be highly useful and interesting to a range of individuals from novice birders to naturalists to professional ornithologists.(Wildlife Activist) All public libraries in Pennsylvania and its neighboring states should make this book available to birders; colleges and universities of the northeastern states should also acquire it.(Choice) Birders who have longed for a comprehensive book about the birds in Pennsylvania have had their wish come true.(Erie (PA) Times) Hats off to the editors and their many contributors, on a very fine book. I heartily recommend it. It is a work for which the authors can be justly proud. It is an essential reference that belongs in all university libraries of the region or any library that aspires to have a good ornithological collection. Birders and academics alike should own it.(The Auk) If you bird in Pennsylvania, you should own this book.(Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) This book has long been anticipated. It is a very good book, a valuable resource. A must for students of bird distribution and for bird watchers in adjacent states who want to know what happens just beyond their borders.(Bird Watcher's Digest) This book provides comprehensive coverage of the birds of Pennsylvania.(Ibis) This comprehensive book provides all the information a long-time birder needs while being interesting and readable for newcomers.(Lancaster (PA) Sunday News)
