A really cute and accessible guide to suburban bird watching! I enjoyed the author’s anecdotes and how she separated birds by geographical region. The category for birds found almost everywhere, though, was much more accurate to my home in Upstate New York than it was to my home in Southwest Florida. She used the American robin for comparison everywhere and I had never seen one before coming to NY! It was still a great beginner’s guide though, and the author listed some more books for further, more expansive reading, which I’ll be looking for on my next bookstore trip.
