Great for bird lovers of all ages by Kelly Keck (Marcellus, MI)  5 Stars
October 25, 2009
This is a good way to learn more about the birds in your back yard. The songs are realistic and very clear. The descriptions and pictures make it easy to see what the males and females look like. I am looking forward to getting the other books in the series. This was purchased as a gift for someone who enjoys birdwatching and they really enjoyed it.

The love of Wild Birds by Rodney C. Robertson (Spokane, WA) 5 Stars
September 05, 2009
Living in the Northwest we see so many Wild Birds that we want to get close to them. It is really fun to talk to them and read about them. Any time we see a new bird we grab the book and call to them. Lots of fun.
