I've had so much fun identifying birds since I received this book. There were many I had often seen but never knew what they were. Oila! Now I do. I even bought one for a friend. This is a great reference for those who are new to bird watching. Wish I'd taken it on vacation with me.
The photographs in this book are incredibly gorgeous. There are over 600 photographs, all of them crisp, clear and close up. The book includes information about territories, nesting habits and even describes the sounds the birds make in detail. This is a wonderful book not only to be enjoyed by bird watcher but also to be used by couch potatoes like me who don't get out much. But you might be inspired to get out and look for birds after a mere glance through this beautiful field guide. Well worth having.
