The field guide "Birds of Europe" by Mullarney et. al. is first class, but over-kill for Iceland alone. There is also an app version.
Not to replace a field guide, but are you familiar with the "Explore" feature of Merlin? You can download a "pack" for Europe, or the one just for Iceland, and have a mini-field guide on your phone. (Feel free to DM me, if you can't figure out how to set that up.

Subject: Iceland Birding Question
This probably isn't an appropriate question for this group, so please delete if appropriate.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a field guide for birds in Iceland?
Thanks much in advance.
I've shared here before that the National Loon Center is continuing resighting work in southern MN lakes where a "Restore the Call" project translocated young loons about 10 years ago in efforts to restore the southern MN loon population. We are also conducting surveys in Itasca County near the source lakes and have a field technician based here.
We are wondering if any MOU members live on or near any of the lakes below, with access to motorized boats for the larger lakes, that would be willing to assist with the surveys in the upcoming weeks:
Spider Lake Trout Lake Ruby Lake Bluewater Lake Wabana Lake Little Wabana Lake North Star Lake Moose Lake Balsam Lake
Please reach out to me directly if interested. <natasha...>

The MOU is partnering with the National Loon Center on a private field trip to research Common Loons on the Whitefish Chain of Lakes! Participants will climb aboard the National Loon Center's pontoon boat "The StewardShip" and survey nesting success, chick hatching, band resights, and loon behavior. The tour will run from 8:30AM to approximately 11:30AM.
