National Audubon Society North American Birdfeeder Handbook: The Complete Guide To Attracting, Feeding, And Observing Birds In Your Yard [B0628]

1992 HCDJ in nice clean condition. An oldie/goldie! Photographic portraits and descriptions of eighty commonly observed North American birds complement a detailed guide to creating a bird-friendly environment, with tips on feeders, nestboxes, birdbaths, recipes, and bird identification.

From recent-ish Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "This is an excellent overview of North American birds. It offers great tips for attracting and feeding certain species."; "Great detail, illustrations and diagrams on a variety of topics revolving around feeding birds in North America. I especially enjoyed the parts on native plants and bird-friendly landscaping, and I plan to use some of these recommendations when de-lawning my backyard next spring. This guide is definitely aimed towards novice and newbie birders such as myself; I imagine someone with more experience would find this book to have little new information."; "A reference book that can be read cover to cover yet also be kept by the window as quick index for identifying backyard birds. Large and clear photographs are great for both helping the birdwatcher identify various backyard birds and for showing parts of birds not easily seen in the wild. Section headings include "Attracting Birds," "Bird Profiles," "Behavior Guide," and "Bird Survival.""
