Hi TPC. My Peterson Flash Guide came in the mail today, thank you. I am now convinced that it was either a Peregrine or a Cooper's that I saw on Saturday. When I said that it was low, I meant like 20 floors up or so, but close enough to see the markings. That being said, I have seen Cooper's Hawks close to there before so that's more likely what it was. Thanks for the guide it's small enough to go in my purse. Now if I could just remember to take my binocs everywhere with me..

Thanks, Eagle and Deb -- I've just gone ahead and ordered a used one through Amazon. The one in McNally was $35. Now I can hardly wait for it to arrive! I appreciate your help.

I agree - although we just have the eastern version. (That is WPG by the way whatever our "Gateway to the West" may promise.) ::)
Just make sure you get one that has the pictures with the writeups. Ours has all the pictures in the middle and you are forever flipping back and forth. :P

Yes Saoirse,I have it. It is a good book. It puts his western and eastern field guides together in one book. I think it is around 26-30 dollars? Don't quote me cause I got mine at Costco lol Some people like photographs and they are good but Roger's paintings are exactly the colour of the bird as far as I am concerned.
