 Like holding real live birds in your hand! December 14, 2006

Someone gave me this book (THANK YOU FOREVER!). I have always wanted to hold a bird in my hands, and now it seems I truly can, since the illustrations are so beautul and detailed, they seem so real! And because the book is so cleverly organized, I can get to the information quickly before the birds hop or fly out of sight. For instance, Cardinals are listed under "Red Birds" duh, how simple can you get? "Beginner's Luck" has me willing to try and identify more. And when the sun goes down, it makes great bedside reading because the information is so well-edited, it's packed with details but not overwhelming. I recently ordered 16 as holiday gifts after testing my book out on both my 10-year-old-niece (who wants to be a veterinarian but she's allergic to animals. Now she'll be able to safely get up close and personal. One book is going to my 95-year-old neighbor whose wife just died and winter's coming up. He's got a bird feeder outside the window where he always sits, and he never had a bird guide, so this book can help him solve bird mysteries. The price value is just right for gift-giving, especially considering the ADDED VALUE of introducing bird-watching as a pastime for a lifetime - one that will connect people to the greater outdoors, which is so wonderful! Each book will go a long, long way. Mine already has a lot of miles on it, as it now goes everywhere with me. It's my constant companion, just like the birds will now always be!
Wonderful Field Guide! December 13, 2006

I recently got this book for my 16 year old who had expressed an interested
in bird watching. This is a wonderful beginning field guide. It's very easy to use. But what impressed me most were the stunningly beautiful color illustrations by artist Pieter Prall. The pictures are just amazing and inspirational; we keep the book on the sill of our window that overlooks our wooded backyard. Now we actually look for birds to identify. I would highly recommend this book to young and old. It makes a great gift and is a real bargain for the price.
Get it ! September 12, 2009

I ordered this book as a gift for my mom and she loves it! I looked through it before sending it to her. The cover is indestructible, the pages don't stick together, the illustrations are fantastic. I think this would also be a great book for children who are interested in birds. It's very informative and easy to read. There's even a section in the book that shows you what the bird looks like flying in the distance (so you can tell by the way they hold their wings whether they're an Eagle or a Vulture.) Great book. Thank you!
It's been as close to perfect so far. February 14, 2010

I bought this book for my girlfriend who wanted a good bird book. It's been phenomenal.
The picture comparison of the birds are excellent and detailed, as well as the descriptions being brief, informative, and to the point. Easy to identify birds in a moment after a brief glimpse of the actual birds.
I highly recommend this book, and this is from someone who didn't really know much about birds at all from a technical stand point. "Blue" or "brown, mostly" is good enough to find what you are looking for.
