I couldn't resist the purchase yesterday. Images are crisper, maps bigger and
with better detail (including habitat/bird finding descriptions). Numerous
species accounts have more/improved angle drawings. He shows better attention
to comparing details of similar species. Overall, he improves on things I
thought previously Peterson did better w/o an increase in the size of book. Of
note, he has included countless new rarities (most of which have only occured
once or twice in North America). I'm not necessarily a rarity-phile, but I know
some are.

David Sibley has released his 2nd edition with more birds and larger
pictures.
Sounds like a must have.
