Virginia Bird Watching: A Year-Round Guide

by Bill Thompson III

Like gardening, bird watching is a fast-growing regional hobby. Now, Cool Springs Press brings its successful state-specific publishing approach to bird watching guides. In collaboration with "Bird Watcher's Digest," these bird watching guides provide accessible, credible advice. The birds that frequent the backyards of Virginia differ from the birds that frequent the backyards of Tennessee. In addition to unique descriptions, each bird profile includes a range map to identify each bird's North American distribution. One hundred birds are profiled, each with a color photograph, to ensure accurate identification. A seasonal section informs the reader
Migrating birds that can be seen during that season
The foods and plants that can attract those birds
Where to go to view year-round and migrating birds Cool Springs Press's partner, Bird Watcher's Digest, has sold more than 4 million copies of their booklets on bird species, bird habitat, feeding, and other related topics. This series of books from Cool Springs Press targets the beginning bird watchers for ten states.
