American Bird Conservancy 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 Birds of North America tells you everything you need to know about the birds you'll see in your backyard, in parks and along the roadside. It features: Up-to-date information on all the species seen in neighborhoods, parks and 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.
Thanks to this book, I am becoming an avid bird-watching. Together with my binoculars, I now have the tools I need to identify most every bird I see in my backyard or when I'm out hiking. An excellent resource.
Fabulous little book

This is a very useful little book. We bought this because we live in Seattle and recently bought a bird feeder that's now being visited by all kinds of birds. The book is really helpful - it starts with a few pages of info about how to attract birds to your garden and then the rest of the book has colour pictures of birds on the right-hand side page and writing about them on the left. The birds are organized by type, but also by colour which makes them pretty easy to identify. I think this is a great book for beginners like me who just want to know roughly who's feeding in their garden!
Great compact field guide for trips and walks!

This little field guide (6" x 4") is great for carting around. The west edition covers the states west of the Rockies very well. The full color book begins with a foreward about attracting birds. The next few pages describe how ot look at a bird, how to read the range maps, and how the birds are organized in this guide. And then here comes the birds! On each left bage, there is a catergorized column with the catergory name at top (catbird and bluebirds, chickadees and titmice, crowned sparrows, etc.), followed by range maps and a cool fact. On the ajoining right page, the birds are shown (male and/or female and/or juvenile). I think this is a great little field guide.
