  • Perfect For Quick Identifications

    This is a handy small pocket guide to have along when you’re first beginning to identify the birds you see. I began birding with my Grandson last year and along with a good set of binoculars and a small portable camp stool, it was great having this little companion book. I have a larger complete National Geographic Encyclopedia of birds are home which is great and all inclusive but far too impractical to lug around. This little book suites the purpose.

  • True to what it says

    It is a little more detailed than the last one I had (which was quite old) so this has a lot more to it about each bird.
