Review by Booklist Review

With 200 color photographs and 25 color illustrations, this delightful book offers data on how to begin and how to improve your bird-watching skills. Chapters deal with the pleasures of birding, getting started, where and when birds are found, how common or rare they are at different seasons, parts of a bird, how to identify them, and variations in birds. Also included is information on what the authors term identification challenges, how to search for birds, and their taxonomy and nomenclature. With a helpful glossary, this is an essential volume for all bird-watchers.--Cohen, George Copyright 2007 Booklist
