Customer Reviews

Great book for quick identification of local birds

This book is arranged by bird color--a great help in identifying female birds. After using the Missouri edition on a visit, I bought the Idaho version for my father. He loves it, too.

My Go-To Traveling Field Guide

I love these guide books. They are well organized by color, then size of bird. Super easy to use. I travel a good bit around the country and buy this guide for each state I plan to visit.

Birds of Idaho Field Guide

I love the way this bird book is organized--by color,alphbetically. Maybe it is like the joke about the way women would organize a car lot, but I love being able to go the "mostly black" section, then the "mostly blue and white" section, then "mostly blue"....... I can find the bird everytime. JGR

A Little Gem

This is a wonderful little book that is easy to use, even by a novice bird watcher. It is organized by the predominant color of the bird, starting with black and progressing through the colors to yellow. If males and females look different each will be listed separately, with a page reference to the other, a feature that I found very helpful. Each bird entry consists of two pages. The first page is a nice photo of the bird. The second page includes a small diagram showing the bird's range, and the following description fields: size, male, female, juvenile, nest, eggs, incubation, fledging, migration, food, comparison to similar birds, and Stan's notes. Finding birds by their predominant color was very easy to do. Where I wasn't quite sure which of two or three entries was the right one, the size, comparison to similar birds, or Stan's notes narrowed the choice down to the right bird. If you are a beginning bird watcher like me, I don't know of a better book. Advanced bird watchers may already know everything in this book and want something more detailed and comprehensive, but for the rest of us, I don't think you can beat the compact size and usefulness of this little gem.

You won't be disappointed!

I found this to be a great easy to use guide. It is intelligently organized, easy to use, and loaded with color pictures and detailed descriptions. I have really enjoyed having this handy this summer. An excellent value for the price.
