An Exciting & New Step-by-Step Guide to Bird Identification
Birding is fun! Plain and simple. Which is why in the United States alone, an estimated 40 to 60 million people identify themselves as bird watchers. To appreciate, understand, and enjoy the bird life around them, birders must rely on their ability to instantly recognize their fine feathered friends.
Identifying birds quickly and easily is not only one of the biggest frustrations birders experience; it is also the singular focus of this book.
