Excellent birding guide, love that for beginners each bird is categorized by color. If the male or female has different colors, the entry tells you where to find the the other color of the gender. Has a nice little check list in the back as well. Just all round handy and great!

We have one of these compact, color-coded field guides for Pennsylvania and this summer we added this Kentucky edition. This book features the common birds seen in the state with short yet descriptive notes on size, markings, breeding and nesting habits, food preferences, and other notes of interest.

This Kentucky edition has a different, and infinitely better, photo of my favorite bird, the gray catbird.

Handy little book that arranges birds found in Kentucky by color and then by size for easy identification. Easy enough for my kids to intuitively pick up and use as well.

My toddler runs around with this, dancing gleefully and shouting, "is it a duck?" every time she turns the page.

Also good for identifying birds.

Rather you are a beginner bird watcher or even if you have over half of your life list marked..this book is essential to Kentuckians! I am on my second copy..because I have worn the pages on y first!

Excellent field guide for all levels of birders. Organized utilizing a simple color based system, it relates the pertinent facts on virtually each species found in the commonwealth. Also includes photos of both male and female of each species, an invaluable feature.
