Quick indexes to birding field guides  (plus HBW)

via www.jvanderw.nl  (trip reports)

In the field you often want to find a certain plate in your field guide as quickly as possible. So I made alphabetical quick indexes to the plates of our field guides if they don't have a quick index, with index entries at the level of families and often genera.
You can freely download them below. They are in Word format (unless stated otherwise), and when printed will fit in/on the back cover of the field guide.
