A joy to supplement Newcomb's. This is my favorite field guide for the northeastern US that is (a) portable and (b) has photographs. It's got maps for each species, which show approximate extent and phenology.

Newcomb's -- the one, the only. If you do lots of fieldwork, buy 2 copies (one for indoors, one for outdoors)

Out of print, but common enough to be occasionally available in good used bookstores. Essentially a complete listing of species in the alpine zones of New England, more for the taxonomically-inclined (organized by family, with keys)
