A bird in the yard,
By wogan "the book reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: National Geographic Backyard Guide to the Birds of North America (Paperback)
I thought I had the best bird book to identify the birds in my yard until I found this bird guide. It identifies 150 species. There is a quick find index on the inside cover with pictures - a real help! Information is given on feeding, bird houses and how to distinguish between similar species.The colour heads of birds leads you to the pages where complete pictures, range maps, food and general identification information can be found. There are inserts included; such as why do birds migrate and how to attract hummingbirds. A glossary is built-in with additional reading. Anyone who looks out and wants to know more of the feathered friends flying around will benefit from this guide. 13 of 14 people found the following review helpful

This review is from: National Geographic Backyard Guide to the Birds of North America (Paperback)
I gave this book to three amateur bird fans who enjoy watching birds at their kitchen window feeders. All reported back that this was the most useful bird book they had seen, with clear photos & identifying features, and interesting relevant facts.
