  • Great book to take on bird watching trips.

    First time I have purchased a used book from eBay. I was worried about what the condition of the book would be. It’s basically like new!! Great deal.

  • Direct and to the point.

    As we've gotten older, we've had bird feeders, but never had the time to watch them because we were either working or raising our kids and didn't have time. But the last few years, we've taken an interest because we have neighbors who've told us about various birds that have come to their feeders, birds that we have never seen. We googled one that we saw for the very first time and after getting this book, it has opened us to a lot of birds that various seeds can attract. Now that we are empty nesters, it's really nice to find something that is fun to do without spending a lot of money at once. The book was in VERY GOOD condition when I got it. I was impressed since it was used.
