Customer Review: Now there’s a bird I’d like to get on my life list !
This is a rather unusual ‘Bird Book’and certainly not a book someone just starting out in Birding would find very helpful.In the first few years of birding one finds new birds to see without chasing all over North America,to find rare birds listed in this book.However;that being said the book makes for interesting reading as to what are some of the most sought after birds that Birders are on the search for as their North America life list grows past the 500’s.
What birds were included could be debated.Some are quite easily found at the right time and location while others require a lot of effort unless staked out,or on an up-to date Hot Line posting.The birds included are very well described ,with excellent directions and information on occurrence.
Even if one were not intending to chase down all these birds,it is certainly a good book covering these prized additions and where one might find them.This is not a book you would take with you during a day of birding;but certainly a great asset to turn to if you are planning a trip away from your normal surrounds and want to make sure you know about and hopefully add one of these birds to your list.
Although the book limits itself to the Lower 48 states,it is still useful to birders who keep an ABA list,although directions and details are not provided outside the Lower ‘48′.
All in all,a great book for an avid birder whose birding ranges over the ABA.
Customer Review: Usefull to listers and birders.
This book is usefull to birders and listers in delineating how to seek out some of the more unusual avian visitors to the US. At times though you wonder if the information provided would truly help you “get” the bird. Buy from here…

Duncraft 18202 Safe Haven Wild Bird Feeder With Metal Seed Tray
April 29, 2008
Duncraft Safe Haven wild bird feeder allows song birds to feed but keeps squirrels and large birds away from the seed
Customer Review: Don’t Waste Your Money
The Duncraft 18202 Safe Haven Wild Bird Feeder With Metal Seed Tray has several problems making it a waste of money. First, a design flaw makes it impossible to clean so when it rains the seeds congeal together and there is no way to get the old seed out. Second, another design flaw makes the thing apt to fall down to the ground (the rope is still connected to the top of the feeder but the top of the feeder and rest of the feeder won’t stay together.
Customer Review: Not a good choice
The roof leaked during a light rain and all the seed was ruined. The design seems guaranteed to leak. I sealed mine with acquarium sealer, but I don’t know if that will work. Gray squirrels can’t get in, but red squirrels sure can, so it is only squirrel-proof if grays are the only ones in your yard. It is very heavy and needs serious support to hold it up. Buy from here…

Customer Review: Better Bird Identification Desired
Wonderful information presented very nicely. However, if searching for a book with photos/drawings of birds to aid young potential birdwatchers a buyer may want to make another choice.
The illustrations are much too muted/soft for noting distinctions/characteristics which would be helpful for child and adult alike. Buy from here…
