4.0 out of 5 stars
Great guide for the novice,
By Candace Scott (Lake Arrowhead, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stokes Beginner's Guide to Birds: Western Region (Paperback)
I am a neophyte birder and this book was perfect as a beginning guide in identifying and recognizing common birds in the western region. The other bird guides I have purchased (National Geographic and Audubon) were exceptional, but for a novice, they presented too much information and too many birds. This book struck a nice, comfortable compromise. The photos of each bird are excellent and provide you a good look at the features and characteristics of each. They also tell you succinctly where the habitat would be and where you would most likely see each bird.The best feature was that each bird was divided by color. So if you see a Wilson's warbler in your backyard but don't know for certain if your call is correct, you can quickly thumb to the "yellow" section of the book and see all the yellow birds. Thus you can quickly confirm your identification. This book would have limited, or no value to an experienced birder, but for the beginning birder, this is a fine introduction to the hobby of birding.

French Version by Broquet,
By Gary Brumberg (Oceanside, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stokes Beginner's Guide to Birds: Eastern Region (Paperback)
While in Quebec, I purchased Stokes: Guide to Birds of North America, eastern region. The Broquet publishers have done a dedicated job translating this guide. I wanted it in French since the species traveling over "language bounderies" would understandably assume different names. What made me select THIS book over others is that it not only included the English/N. American name of the species but also the binomial nomenclature, which many Canadian books were missing.Even if your French is minimal, I highly recommend this book if your traveling in Quebec because not every aviary identifies these species in English.
5.0 out of 5 stars
my first bird book,
By "jearlpam79" (TN, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stokes Beginner's Guide to Birds: Eastern Region (Paperback)
This is the first book I bought to help me identify birds. I know a lot of birds because of previous knowledge of what certian birds look like. I bought this book, because I had birds comming to the ffeders at my house in which, I could not identify. This book helped me a lot. It is easy to use. It gives tips on how to attract certian birds. It helps you know what the birds' songs are like. It also has a map showing you where each bird is normally found. This book is worth spending the money on it, especially if you enjoy watching birds.
