Please suggest your favorite field guides. I have Comstocks' book, but it isn't all that useful for general ID'ing. I'd like guides for birds (Rocky Mountains and High Plains), bugs & insects, plants...

Thanks in advance.

OK, thanks. I gave some great referrals for birds now. Any suggestions for plants and insects? Do the Peterson guides cover those as well?

Yes, Peterson has a great assortment of field guides, and are among the best regardless of topic. (Of course, there are other good guides for specific things, like Steve Brill's book for wild edibles.)
