Nearly one in five Americans is a birder. Many more would like to
learn how to identify the common birds seen in their backyards. But
the traditional field guides, packed with lots of detail and
technical jargon, appear inaccessible to the uninitiated. What is a
beginning birder to do?
What s That Bird? offers a unique combination of ID guidance along
with general information basic to becoming a birdwatcher, making it
the perfect tool for beginning enthusiasts. Intended as a book for
adults and children to share, the design and text are engaging and
accessible to all ages.
Detailed profiles of 30 common North American birds, featuring
family information, silhouette, habitat, call, size, and general
description, make it easy to become a master at identifying
backyard birds. The Also Meet section introduces an additional 30
birds, usually a regional variation or another member of the
family, further expanding one s bird repertoire.
In a separate section, first-time birdwatchers learn how birds eat,
communicate, and even breathe. They also learn the best ways to
observe birds, techniques for keeping a bird journal, and how to
protect endangered birds. And family-friendly projects, such as
building a nesting platform, a bird arbor, and a nesting box,
enhance the birding experience.
The book contains more than 120 fullcolor photographs by noted bird
photographer Tom Vezo, along with full-color illustrations and
easy-reference charts. With interest in birdwatching on the rise,
this is an invaluable introductory tool for educators, parents, and
children alike."
