I’ve watched the birds in my yard for years, but it’s only recently that I began to pay closer attention to them. And once I did, I wanted to know more. So off to the the library I went to check out a pile of books to find a few good ones to buy for my library. Here’s one I really liked.
National Audubon Society North American Birdfeeder Guide by Robert Burton, Stephen W. Kress
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A thorough explanation of the abc’s of attracting birds to your backyard. What to do and what not to do. Nicely organized into sections covering what birds need in food, nesting, habitat and other basics, understanding their behavior, and how to create a bird friendly garden. The last half of the book consisted of bird profiles with beautiful color photos to assist in their identification.
This is an excellent addition to a new bird watcher’s library.
