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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

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!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
