My six year old grandson carries this pocket pamphlet with him everytime he goes outside. He has found the name of several birds using this as a resource. It is very durable and user friendly. However there is not a lot of information on the birds...just pictures and names.

As new backyard birders in Alabama, we think this is terrific. Easy to keep always handy, laminated so mostly waterproof and very sturdy. For us the only downside was that one entire side involved water/near water birds. HOWEVER, since we are ordering one for the car and one for the truck and we visit my parents who have a pond in their front yard, this 'con' will soon be a 'pro'. Best bang for the buck I've seen in a long time.

This book is a must for any homeschooling family attempting to teach about the birds in AL. My 5th and 3rd graders love it for science. It is sturdy and a must for rides in the van. Don't forget your binoculars!
We are all enjoying learning about the birds native to this area.

Very nice fold out laminated bird guide. Illustrated listing of birds in Alabama. Listed in four categories; Birds of Prey, Perching birds, Doves/woodpeckers, water and nearshore birds. The guide has a map of Alabama birding hotspots. Obviously it doesn't list as much information as a bird guide book would, but if you are just looking for basic identification then this will be perfect for you.

WE WERE VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS PAMPHLET. WE THOUGHT WE WERE BUYING A BIRD BOOK. WE SHOULD HAVE READ THE REVIEWS BEFORE BUYING. NEXT TIME WE WILL, IF WE EVER BUY ANYTHING ELSE.
