Book Review: National Geographic Field Guide to Birds of North America
Summary: 4 Stars

Very good book for identifying birds. I am not a "birder", but enjoy watching from my kitchen window at the different ones feeding at my bird feeders outside. I was surprised at the number of different birds that I saw. My curiosity caused me to order the book, to identify the different ones that I saw. I have enjoyed being able to add names to the birds that I see.

Summary of National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America, Fifth Edition

Birding is the fastest growing wildlife-related activity in the U.S., and even conservative estimates put the current number of U.S. birders at 50 million. According to the New York Times, some authorities predict that by 2050 there will be more than 100 million-and the National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America will be the essential reference for field identification and the cornerstone of any birder's library. This is the ultimate, indispensable bird field guide-comprehensive, authoritative, portable, sturdy, and easier than ever to use.

Among the the new edition's key elements and practical improvements: Every North American species-more than 960, including a new section on accidental birds-classified according to the latest official American Ornithologists' Union checklist 4,000 full-color illustrations by the foremost bird artists at work todayand newly updated range maps that draw on the latest data New durable cover for added protection against adverse weather, plus informative quick-reference flaps that double as placemarkers New reader-friendly features like thumbtabs that make locating key sections faster and easier, and a quick-find index to direct users straight to the information they need.
