New to Birdwatching

NAS Pocket Guide to Songbirds and Familiar Backyard Birds: Eastern Region (National Audubon Society Pocket Guides) I bought 3 Birdwatching books, enjoy them all, but this one is by far THE BEST!!

Wonderful Birds

This is a great book to have around in those moments when you are looking out your window and behold, there is a little bird you can look up.

Great pocket size book.

The pictures are full color but only are of male birds. It only has the summer coloring also, not winter coloring of changing birds like goldfinches. Very nice up close pictures though. It shows great detail of birds in their natural settings. This book is perfect for a pocket or bag. It measures about 4" high and 6" long. This book contains basic data of common eastern birds. It states a brief description, identification, voice, habitat, and range. There is also information about basic birdwatching, identifying, and attracting birds in the introduction. I keep this book next to my home office computer where I have a feeder outside my window just in case I have an unfamiliar visitor.
