Book Reviews of Backyard Birds (Peterson Field Guides? for Young Naturalists)
Book Review: Okay, but not Peterson quality
Summary: 3 Stars
No one who writes a birding book and says "sea gulls" instead of "gulls" is a birder. This is one of the all time no no's for birders. While the book doesn't refer to Canada gees as Canadian geese, it's still a huge mistake. An Eastern guide and a Western guide for young naturalists would be more useful. Editing by a naturalists would help.
