How to go from a beginner to an expert birder

Better Birding reveals the techniques expert birders use to identify a wide array of bird species in the field--quickly and easily. Featuring hundreds of stunning photos and composite plates throughout, this book simplifies identification by organizing the birds you see into groupings and offering strategies specifically tailored to each group. Skill building focuses not just on traditional elements such as plumage, but also on creating a context around each bird, including habitat, behavior, and taxonomy--parts so integral to every bird's identity but often glossed over by typical field guides. Critical background information is provided for each group, enabling you to approach bird identification with a wide-angle view, using your eyes, brain, and binoculars more strategically, resulting in a more organized approach to learning birds.

Better Birding puts the thrill of expert bird identification within your reach.

  • Simplifies identification with strategies tailored to different groupings of birds

Good, cute talking book. Good audio
Format: Board book
This little book has pretty good audio and has lasted quite awhile. The story is cute, my little dude liked it, and it was well made. Thick board book so it's perfect for little hands. (Amazon VIne people, please accept me into your ranks. I know this review wasn't as good, but IDK what else to really write, I got this for my nephew for Easter I think two years ago and it was destroyed after awhile intentionally. I don't have the greatest memory of it, but we kept the speaker part after because he liked it before we finally just got rid of it while cleaning...sorry lil dude if you ever come across this review, I'll get you a new one if you're that passionate about it)

Great for small kids
Format: Board book
Love this book. Easy for the kids to turn the cardboard pages, and the sound buttons are easy to push. Bought for my 2 year old grandson’s birthday, but 3 year old cousin keeps trying to steal it.
