Here in AZ, so close to the border, it is good policy to own a copy of A Guide to the Birds of Mexico and Northern Central America by Steve Howell and Sophie Webb. We occasionally get birds that spill over into the southern part of the state that aren't yet included in the regular U.S. field guides.
