I just had to buy one recent field guide lol(I did buy ABA field guide for California by 'ebirder' Alvara Jaramillo), and this time I chose the Eastern one, in case I bird there again :)
Can't beat Sibley, but I really want to mention the excellence of the Princeton photographic guides by Paul Sterry. Not only their stunning photos; behavior and especially call notes are big plus. For example its description Louisiana Waterthrush song is the most detailed, better than NG, Sibley or Peterson. Only NG Complete Birds of North America matches it; "seeeu seeeu seeeu seewit seewit ch-wit it-chu"
And, who wouldn't want to learn more about those Wablers, eh? :) Should get it autographed from Kimball Garrett when I 'meet' him again(he joined us for a bit and chatted with another veteran birder during our Antelope Valley field trip, right next to me! I was too shy then lol)!
Naturally my next purchase would be logically;

But it's too big, so will defer it till..whenver it is lol.
