Book Overview
Learn from FeederWatcher Experts How to Feed and Attract Birds Join Margaret Barker on a fascinating tour of FeederWatcher's backyards and bird feeders. Margaret captures the joy in the FeederWatcher's words as they explain how to attract the finches you've seen down the road, how to discourage the flock of Starlings you'd really rather went elsewhere, and how to live peacefully with squirrels and raccoons. You'll discover which birds you can attract and which ones will return year after year. Each winter thousands of FeederWatchers identify birds attracted to their yards and record data about them. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology compiles the data into the largest existing database on backyard birds. No one has more hard facts on backyard birds than the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and no one knows more about attracting birds than the FeederWatchers. FeederWatchers are participants in Project FeederWatch, a joint research and education project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the National Audubon Society, Bird Studies Canada, and the Canadian Nature Federation.

Alex D. bird review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I probably love birds more than any other 9-year old in America!! I have basically a library of bird books - and this is one of my best. It is educational, interesting and a treasure to me. It has helped to get 26 species at my feeders. It doesn't just tell you important bird feeding info, but is fascinating to read and learn from. My favorite section is "what the birds have taught us" about landscaping, food, feeders and water. I also dream of becoming a FeederWatcher - my parents say they will sign us all up. Plus this is a book in the Cornell Bird Library series, which makes it defiantly a good book.
Fantastic

I picked this book up not thinking it was going to be much but I was totally wrong. This book is chocked full of info on feeding, feeders, pretty much every North American bird that would ever visit your feeder, full color pictures and even a few recipes! I would definately recommend this book to anyone wanting to get to know more about their feathered friends. A kick arse book!

Margaret Barker and Jack Griggs work on this book is excellent. The feederWatcher's Guide to Bird Feeding is very well organized and informative. The book content is useful not only for the experienced bird feeder, but the novice as well. I love the bird photographs and having the opportunity to view a snapshot other bird feeding sites across the country.
FeederWatcher's Guide to Bird Feeding
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I found this large-format field guide to feeding common backyard birds to be well laid out and very informative. The anecdotal references to various feeder sites across the country were interesting, and the material on field identification and feeding was well presented. This is a good book for bird feeding enthusiasts as well as novice bird feeders. Great pictures!
