The Christmas season is upon us and my wife would like to get me a new
birding book since I've not been all that pleased with my Audubon Guide
to Eastern Birds.  It just doesn't have enough birds or enough field marks
for me to distinguish a lot of birds around here (Washington DC).  I'd
like to be able to identify a bird as more than "it's some kind of sparrow,
probably a female."  Can anyone give me a recommendation? -- I'm not a hard
core birder, but I do like to know what I'm looking at.
