Basic bird guide, organized by color.

Best of all!

Stan has really done his work. I love this book. But if you have a chance, go to one of his talks. You will learn so much, much more. If he could put it in a book it would be a tome.

Great description of birds, I will enjoy observing the birds now that Spring is arriving! I would give it 5 stars but the app only lets me give it one star...

I finished Birds Of Wisconsin by Stan Tekiela. It was a very cool book to read because it show you where each bird lives, how many eggs it lays, what they eat also what bird they are similar to. It also showed you what part of the state each of the birds live in and what season the come to that part of the state.

Not an ornithologist? Only caught a glimpse of color? These peerless bird identification field guides are the best guides for simple birding. Sorted by primary color and region, we have them from surrounding states and find them useful everywhere - from our backyard feeders, to the car, to hiking or birding. Stan Tekiela's tree and flower guides are also excellent.
