Review:I can't believe how interesting this book is. This book will not remind you of the science class that you hated all those years ago. In fact some of the things you were taught back then may have not been completely correct now that gene mapping has started revealing new knowledge!
Get this book! You probably will need to be educated about this stuff in the VERY near future. Read more

Review:Very interesting read, but definitely not for mass consumption. I am a biology major and still needed to wade through all the terminology/ ideas presented within. I loved the book, but I would not recommend it to anyone who did not study science Read more

Review:I bought this for my grandchildren who just moved from Japan to the United States. They loved it. My son took one look and said it was better than anything he had. Now they can sart recording their bird finds! Read more

Review:My 4th grader used this in conjuction with Jeannie Fullbrights Apologia Zoology 1. This is a wonderful book and it is very easy to use and is laid out by color. You can identify a bird quickly with this book and it gave my daughter a love of the different breeds. The book also has many helpful notes like if the bird is a native or migratory and more. It's the perfect identification book for any age. Read more

Review:Wonderful game for all ages. Beautiful illustrations and a booklet that tells you a bit about each bird. Kids love the colorful pictures and it's amazing how quickly they memorize complicated names and the accompanying information. We get groups ranging in age from 4-75 playing, and everyone loves it.
It also serves to demystify some "naughty" words. The first couple of times you name a bird with a double-entendre name, the kids snicker, but after a few rounds, it's just another kind of anima... Read more

Review:This book is amazing! We had company over and all of them loved it too! Looking at buying some of the other books written by this author as well. Also, the book shipped timely and was in great condition when it arrived. Very good purchase and would highly recommend. Read more

Review:Excellent assist for me as a new birder following a guided trip to Costa Rica. Our guide and a friend used it to narrow choices as we viewed birds. I've been using it to familiarize myself with the birds I saw and photographed while there. Read more

Review:This is my third copy of this excellent book, which I use as my ;primary resource for identifying birds. Kaufman is the best, in my opinion -- he combines the benefits of photos and paintings by digitally adjusting the photos to reflect the most typical specimens. Read more

Review:I really like this book. First, it only lists birds of PA, so I don't have to page through other bird species when trying to locate a bird reference in my back yard. Second, the pictures in the book are outstanding, making bird identification a snap. Also, the birds are listed in order of color, with separate identification for male and female, where there is a difference in their color. Read more

Review:Great little bird book for Carolinians - when I saw a neighbor's book, I immediately searched Amazon and ordered my own. Color-coded arrangement makes it easy to find what you're looking for, and especially helpful to have an inset photo of the mate if it is a different color. Nice full-page photos. Read more
