Alex D. bird review

I probably love birds more than any other 9-year old in America!! I have basically a library of bird books - and this is one of my best. It is educational, interesting and a treasure to me. It has helped to get 26 species at my feeders. It doesn't just tell you important bird feeding info, but is fascinating to read and learn from. My favorite section is "what the birds have taught us" about landscaping, food, feeders and water. I also dream of becoming a FeederWatcher - my parents say they will sign us all up. Plus this is a book in the Cornell Bird Library series, which makes it defiantly a good book.

Fantastic

I picked this book up not thinking it was going to be much but I was totally wrong. This book is chocked full of info on feeding, feeders, pretty much every North American bird that would ever visit your feeder, full color pictures and even a few recipes! I would definately recommend this book to anyone wanting to get to know more about their feathered friends. A kick arse book!

BEST BIRD BOOK FOR ME

THIS BOOK IS EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND. I KEEP IT BY ME WHEN I AM WATCHING THE BIRDS AT MY FEEDERS OR IN MY YARD. A VERY EXCELLENT BOOK.

Bird feeding guide

Margaret Barker and Jack Griggs work on this book is excellent. The feederWatcher's Guide to Bird Feeding is very well organized and informative. The book content is useful not only for the experienced bird feeder, but the novice as well. I love the bird photographs and having the opportunity to view a snapshot other bird feeding sites across the country.

FeederWatcher's Guide to Bird Feeding

I found this large-format field guide to feeding common backyard birds to be well laid out and very informative. The anecdotal references to various feeder sites across the country were interesting, and the material on field identification and feeding was well presented. This is a good book for bird feeding enthusiasts as well as novice bird feeders. Great pictures!
