A just released (April 12, 2011) and must have tree guide is “Bark: A Field Guide to Trees of the Northeast” by Michael Wojtech and published by University Press of New England. Available at your local book store or online. The key is easy to follow and the color pictures and range maps are outstanding. Well written and worth checking out.

David,
Thank you for this recommendation! I've been thinking lately that I want to increase my tree id skills in this very area. Your recommendation is most timely.
Hope all's well up in Jefferson. I can't believe it's been almost a year since our coverts training.
