Birders have long appreciated the value of a guide or manual that is comprehensive in its discussion of identification and its portrayal of intraspecific plumage variability. The first two offerings of the Advanced Birding Video Series clearly illustrate the advantage of video over print media in achieving these goals, particularly with taxa as variable as gulls. Those impressed with the high quality of The Large Gulls of North America will not be disappointed in this follow-up volume covering North America's smaller gull species. In short, The Small Gulls of North America has even more of what made Volume 1 so useful.
