American Bird Conservancy (ABC) Compact Guides are specialized bird guides, focused on specific groups of birds. The superb illustrations and organization are derived from the definitive North American bird guide, ABC's All the Birds of North America. All the Backyard Birds tells you everything you need to know about the birds you'll see in your backyard, in the parks and along the roadside. It features: Up-to-date information on all the species seen in neighborhoods and parks and on roadsides. Spectacular, full-color illustrations by America's finest bird artists. Tips on attracting birds to your backyard and a checklist for recording your sightings. The perfect guide to keep on the windowsill overlooking your backyard feeder or to take on a trip to the local park or nature center.
This book is a nice resource for beginner bird watchers because it is small and limited in its scope (only the birds you're likely to see in the eastern U.S.). This allows you to look up a bird very quickly. The illustrations are excellent, showing both the male and female of each species.
