I never thought I would be carrying a field guide, especially my own, but I do carry it now to point out field marks when I'm leading a bird walk, and to write notes on corrections and changes. The Fieldfare makes it almost effortless to carry. Even better, I can slip notes or checklists into the book, zip it up, and toss it around in the car, backpack, or luggage without fear of damaging the book or losing the notes. The Sibley Guide to Birds is the ultimate resource for identifying North American birds. But because of its weight and size it can be easily damaged and cumbersome to carry.
Most people leave it at home.
The cover provides protection for the field guide so it will last longer and so your valuable birding notes will be preserved. The shoulder strap provides a hands off way to carry the guide and have quick access to it. The field guide is secured in the cover by elastic retainers, and the book's end covers slip into clear inner pockets. For standard-sized guides see Fieldfare Model 2001 or Fieldfare Model 2000S .
