"Looking through the book, as casual birder or serious
ornithologist, is a deep pleasure, a celebration of the winged
creatures in the world around us, from swifts to stilts to storks,
falcons, owls, and doves, to grebes and loons and pelicans."---Nina
MacLaughlin, The Boston Globe
"[A] tour de force. . . . This book needs to be on the shelf of all
Maine birders."---Herb Wilson, Portland Press Herald
"The book is an exhaustive resource for researchers and birders . .
. [and is] also a pleasure to page through for anyone who delights
in woods, waters, and wildlife."---Will Grunewald, Down East
"[A] magisterial testament: to a man with a vision, to the
confraternity of Maine ornithologists, to the amazing avian
diversity of this state."---Thomas Urquhart, Central Maine
"These chapters easily could be read and enjoyed by anyone with a
serious interest in ornithology, regardless of location. . . . This
rich presentation of the past, present, and future of Maine
birdlife is a fitting memorial to Peter Vickery who devoted so much
of his life to this project."---Jim Williams, Star Tribune
"This remarkable book could literally change the way state bird
publications are prepared."

Every birder in Maine will want to savour this book and any other
reader will want, like me, to visit Maine."---Bo Beolens, Fat
Birder
"[A] remarkable guide that birders will rely on for decades to
come."
*Northeastern Naturalist*
"This book contains a wealth of information on migration patterns
and timing, status and changes in bird abundance, distribution and
conservation status. . . . A great book."---Keith Betton, British
Birds
