Book Description
Novice birders often distinguish birds by color and size. Sierra Birds: A Hiker’s Guide is a unique book that assumes no prior birding knowledge on the part of the reader and is organized for quick and easy reference. Color-coded keys eliminate the time-consuming and frustrating necessity of having to thumb randomly through a hefty guide, hoping to stumble upon the right species…before it disappears! A cross-index of bird families is also included for more advanced birders. All this in a format that is simply organized, light-weight, and small enough to tuck inside a pocket. |

Siera Birds A Hiker's Guide 
We live in Reno, and enjoy hiking at Lake Tahoe on the Tahoe Rim Trail. This book is really helping us identify birds we see around our home and on the trail.

Sierra Birds Guide
It is always difficult to find specific nature books by area. Although I am not a bird watcher, this helps us at least identify what birds we see around our house. Nice addition (and read) for us and our visitors.

Sierra Birds
Everyone with a plan to hike the Sierras, or owns a home there should have one.

A lively, refreshing guide to Birds
I use this guide outside of the Sierra as well to confirm the bird species I have seen.
The images are wonderful! The birds have texture and life - they are anything but flat, 2D images!
The helpful clues for IDing birds are really effective, and the bird by color instead of genus or class makes it much easier for the novice or casual birdwatching hiker to have the thrill of Bird IDing & observation!
CHEERS! JM LAWS ! U have done a wonderful job. I can't wait till your next book comes out!

Very easy to use
Finally a good bird book for Sierra hikers! This book is very easy to use because the birds can easily be found simply by looking at the color of what you're seeing. It's excellent for kids and advanced birders alike. There isn't much information about the birds but if you just want to identify what you're seeing I don't think someone could make a better book. The size, weight and waterproof cover make it so that I'm actually happy to bring it along.
