Wing... I truly detest the Audubon Society Guide. ;-) I never got used to using photographs instead of the paintings. But, to each his own! I own the Sibley, National Geographic, Peterson, and Audubon Society Guides, and a few other desk references. I like the first three about equally, though I personally carry the Sibley. The Audubon is just used for reference. I hear good things about the Kauffman guide, I believe it's called.
But like they say, to each his own! As long as we can figure out what we're looking at, that's all that matters!

Haha, I'm not promoting the Audubon guide, I had it before I was into birds like about 25 years ago, does the trick for me, never really had an urge to look at other guides. But now you guys are forcing me to walk into a bookstore for the first time in no less than 10 years (aside from the toddler department for my 4 year old) and look at that Sibley guide! 
I'm not even 24 yet! Will be in less than a month though,  . It's all my professor's fault for getting me into birds (and the correspondingly high priced glass to accompany that). I was already getting into photography at the time, so I decided I needed to start photographing them. Boy, that seems like so long ago, but it was really only four years ago. I say that all to say that my prof highly recommended Peterson. I found Sibley to be a slightly updated/advanced version of Peterson. Not exactly the same, mind you, and without the handy little arrows that Peterson has so nicely thrown in for the diagnostic markings, but pretty similar.
