5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous little book, April 27, 2000
This review is from: All the Backyard Birds: West (American Bird Conservancy Compact Guide) (Paperback)
This is a very useful little book. We bought this because we live in Seattle and recently bought a bird feeder that's now being visited by all kinds of birds. The book is really helpful - it starts with a few pages of info about how to attract birds to your garden and then the rest of the book has colour pictures of birds on the right-hand side page and writing about them on the left. The birds are organized by type, but also by colour which makes them pretty easy to identify. I think this is a great book for beginners like me who just want to know roughly who's feeding in their garden!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great compact field guide for trips and walks!, March 10, 2000
This review is from: All the Backyard Birds: West (American Bird Conservancy Compact Guide) (Paperback)
This little field guide (6" x 4") is great for carting around. The west edition covers the states west of the Rockies very well. The full color book begins with a foreward about attracting birds. The next few pages describe how ot look at a bird, how to read the range maps, and how the birds are organized in this guide. And then here comes the birds! On each left bage, there is a catergorized column with the catergory name at top (catbird and bluebirds, chickadees and titmice, crowned sparrows, etc.), followed by range maps and a cool fact. On the ajoining right page, the birds are shown (male and/or female and/or juvenile). I think this is a great little field guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful book, August 19, 2001
By 
Linda Ross, PhD (Covington (greater Seattle), WA, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All the Backyard Birds: West (American Bird Conservancy Compact Guide) (Paperback)
Thanks to this book, I am becoming an avid bird-watching. Together with my binoculars, I now have the tools I need to identify most every bird I see in my backyard or when I'm out hiking. An excellent resource.
