It is a beautiful revision! The plates are more refined but still confirm to the "basic shape/obvious field mark" style. There are updated range maps, expanded coverage to include lower Rio Grande Valley and abundance terms (very useful for beginners). Included in the beginning of the book is the unfinished flycatcher plate that Peterson was working on the day he passed away. Very touching.
