easy for beginner |
|
As a beginner bird spotter livin in NY I love this book. Its replacing an old book that only had cartoon drawings which made it impossible for me to figure out what I was really looking at. The pictures are beautiful & extremely helpful. Easy to use w/the color coded corners, good info on the species. This book isn't collecting dust on my shelf - I use it all the time. |

Guesswork Without It |
Before getting this book it was always a debate whether we were looking at this species or that. Tekiela's book is an easy-to-use, well-organized hand-sized reference book that has it's own place near my porch where I like to photograph birds. This book is great as a photographer's reference.
The book many photos of both male and female with interesting facts about the birds other than just the standard stats. Excellent photography as well.
I use this one along with Tekiela's book on New York TreesTrees of New York Field Guide (Field Guides)
together they make a very handy, comprehensive reference collection. |

Great for beginners! |
New birdwatchers who'd like to know more about the birds they see in their area get a great introduction with this set. The book is relatively easy to use through a color coded system based on the prominent colors of the birds. One side of the page has a photograph and the other side has a basic description including things like the birds' feeding, nesting, and behavioral habits. The leatherbound set I purchased included two CDs of birdsong keyed to the book and vice-versa.
As my observation skills grew and I came to see some birds not portrayed in this guide, I opted to get a Sibley's Field Guide as well. Nevertheless, this set containing the CDs and book together these provided an excellent introduction to the most common birds of New York State. |
