All the identification information on a single page- color photographs, range map, and detailed description. No more fumbling to match photos with text! An illustrated Quick Guide to the most common backyard and feeder birds. Convenient colored tabs keyed to each bird group. For fast reference-a compact alphabetical index inside the front and back covers. Concise and comprehensive text, with information on habitat; plumage variation; feeding, nesting, and mating behavior; bird feeder proclivity; and-for the first time in any guide-population trends and conservation status.
Customer Review: A pretty good bird book.
This book has good images and descriptions but lacks something that Roger Tory Peterson has. It also has something Peterson lacks so I enjoy using both. My wife and I live on seven acres of Maryland farm-land and enjoy many birds that are described well in one book or the other, so we use both. The best part of the Stokes book is the CD of bird calls that goes with it. We have identified a couple birds that we wouldn’t have been able to do without it.
Customer Review: Best bird book for the backyard birder
This book packs more information on one page than any bird book that I own. It is easy to use and you know immediately if the bird is generally seen in your area by checking the map. I’ve given the book away on a number of occasions to new birders and experienced, alike.
