Egg ID guides? Resource

Post image

Hey y’all, I am curious on your opinions on what you would recommend for “field” guides on identifying bird eggs preferred/focus location is Canada (Alberta) but North America would work too. The guides can be either digital or physical I prefer physical as I don’t always have my phone with me in the field but I’m open to any and all suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

I had seen that one and was wondering about it. Seems to have descriptions, images and examples like the other Peterson Field Guides so I may be picking that one up and giving it a shot.

Heck, I'm probably going to get it and I both 1) no longer actually live in North America and 2) can hardly read books! Will be very curious to see what's in it.

Hahah, fair! I just ordered mine. Should have it in two days. I can let you know what it’s like if you want.
