Add This To Your Life List!

Margaret Harmon's new book is fun and informative, and helped this birder finally identify himself (and add himself to his own Life List!). Birders of all experience levels will find themselves and their fellow birders here, and will take delight in each new sighting and positive identification they make. Written and illustrated like a "real" bird guide, this book gives our feathered friends everything they need to identify we humans by our field marks, calls, habitat, and other characteristics. I'll never again wonder why the birds I watch are watching me back - they must be using this book to identify me! Delightful!
