About this product

Product Information

Essential for the millions of Americans who watch and feed birds in their backyards-whether experienced birders or new birding enthusiasts-from the experts at National Geographic and co-author of the popular and perennial best seller Field Guide to the Birds of North America. No matter where you live-in the country, city, a high-rise or house-this handy guide will quench your curiosity about the feathered creatures in your midst. It features 150 of the most common and interesting birds likely to be observed at backyard feeders, nesting nearby or just migrating through. An indispensable visual index of all 150 species appears on the inside front and back laminated covers, making identification a snap. Beginning with Backyard Basics, an easy-to-follow, richly illustrated presentation on observing and identifying birds-with tips on attracting and feeding your favorite birds, birdhouses, and bird-friendly landscapes to entice nesting-the book is full of National Geographic's iconic field guide images and maps. Core species on everyone's list-such as robins, woodpeckers, bluebirds and chickadees-are featured in two-page spreads including practical tips with additional imagery. Sidebars captivate with interesting and little known facts.

Excellent bird identification book
My husband and I feed a lot of birds year round at our home. Sometimes we get some very different birds that we have no idea what they are. This book has helped us identify those birds very easily and very quickly. It is easy to use and really informative. Any bird watcher will gain plenty of knowledge upon reading National Geographic Backyard Guide to the Birds of North America.

First Get the birdfeeder and seed, After the birds come, YOU'LL WANT THIS BOOK! ;8 )
Great book to keep near the window looking out to our bird feeders! The color key in the beginning makes it easy to quickly ID the birds and the information for each type of bird is just right. Not too technical or boring, but enough added details to make our bird watching that much more enjoyable! Definitely recommend!
