My opinion?
1) Peterson > Crossley.
2) Geo > Crossley.
3) Sibley > Crossley.
Then again, I like Peterson (for newbies), as well as Geo and Sibley (for
more advanced birders).
And I still like painted guides to ID better than photo guides (though
Kaufman and the Smithsonian aren't bad).
On the other hand, there's some features of Crossley which have merit -
particularly seeing birds in so many poses at so many angles with so many
plumages, etc.
Bottom line?
To me, Crossley fills a niche. But Peterson/Geo/Sibley remain the real deal
for bird ID.
Wayne Rohde - maybe I'll take another look at Crossley tonight ... while I
watch AH's "The Birds!"
