I overestimated how much I knew about birds by a large margin--900 pages worth, as it turns out. This comprehensive guide dedicated to the birds of North America is massive and contains a wealth of information for both the casual I-have-a-birdfeeder crowd, the I-go-birdwatching-every-Tuesday-let-me-discuss-my-favorite-bird-with-you crowd, and all variety of people in between. Each bird has its own full color page, with a handy color-coded map indicating its region, including seasonal habitats and migration paths. The descriptions are thorough, and it even discusses similar species that one can easily be confused by. As someone who owns a birdfeeder, I evidently am easily confused.

I obtained a copy of this book for free through Goodreads Giveaways.
