Customer Review: PACKED with useful information!
Despite its having been published over two decades ago, the book includes plenty of time- and experience-tested tips for creating feeding stations in your backyard and around your property. I don’t think the book leaves any questions unanswered. I especially appreciate the “Calendar of Your Birding Year” chapter, which tells you what to expect every month of the year, as far as number and types of visitors. At this Amazon listing, definitely check out the table of contents.
A MUST HAVE for anyone interested in birdfeeding and birdwatching.
Customer Review: 26 years and counting: still The best guide to date
Although this book contains few color pictures (the first edition copy I own)it still remains the best bird feeding book ever published. If you want cute pictures birds at a bird feeder this may not be the book for you, however if you want information and facts backed by research about how to attract birds to your backyard this remains THE best book. First published 26 years ago I can not find a book with more useful information than this book. It’s fun to read and loaded with information. It does contain lots of excellent photos but they are in B&W. Buy from here…
