ABA Field Guide to Birds of Minnesota
Published
in 2016
by Scott & Nix
This field guide covers 300 species of Minnesota birds. Jim Williams of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune wrote, “Maybe you don’t need another field guide, but this one is different. It is better.” On March 27, 2021, Laura’s 7-month-old grandson Walter gave it his heartiest recommendation, saying, “gaaaaa, yayaya, gaaaaa.”

The second printing, with updated nomenclature, was released in late 2021. Of course, now some more names have changed, along with how the species are organized. Bird field guides are perhaps the books most likely to be at least a little obsolete even before they are published.
