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.
