 Watch the birdies October 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Ya gotta love Amazon. All these reviews, and all for a different book.
The book on this page, with a photograph pasted up above, is from the Young Readers Library, from 1967, a hardback with shiny covers, 125 pp, no dustjacket. Wonderful two-color and full color illustrations and photos on every page really illustrate what birding is all about! Drawings like this, almost botanical illustrations, are rarely seen in books nowadays, because they are so costly. Vintage and loving it.
Chapters for the young people: biological history, migration, language, relationship to man (which should be updated, of course.) Highly recommended, and now scarce.

Big Bird Book a Hit August 8, 2008
Got this book for my Mom. She had the original, but now with the large pictures and print she's able to once again enjoy and utilize this great guide.
A Field Guide to the Birds: A Completely New Guide to All the Birds of Eastern and Central North America May 19, 2008
This is a tried and true reference book author for a newby or pro enthusiast.I have worn out two copies of the Tory Peterson books over my lifetime. Every so often, the colors used in the illustrations are slightly off. But since they are illustrations, not photographs, that is unavoidable. It's a great, great book that every person who loves birds should have in their library.

This easy on the eyes large format edition is a great book for all ages and levels of bird watching. The soft cover makes it light to handle or take with you in the field. The large format makes identifying birds much easier and quicker. Well layed out and practical.
