Great portable book for a new bird watcher
Derived From Web , Dec 27, 2020
I bought this for my 5 yr old daughter and she loves it. It is small enough to fit in a briefcase or a small briefcase. The photos are visual and make it easy to find birds by vivid description.

Good guide to selected birds, but omits some great birds
Derived From Web , Nov 21, 2018
I found this pocket guide to be a great source of information about the selected birds, but I am baffled how they decided which birds to include. For example, it omits my favorite bird, the gathered woodpecker. For those who are not familiar, the piled woodpecker is a large, fairly common woodpecker that is found over large parts of the US and Canada. The Woody Woodpecker character was a stuffed character. Why they decided to leave an iconic bird like the baffling Woodpecker, makes me wonder what other significant birds have been left. I think they should have expanded the number of birds included, rather than leaving an iconic bird, such as the gathered. I see that some other reviewers have the same issue with this guide. Nice guide for selected birds, but omits common and iconic species.
