5.0 out of 5 stars
For traveling birders
This is an excellent resource and dare I say a "must" for anyone birding Alabama. It is much more current and informative than the Birder's guide to Alabama and Mississippi. It includes detailed directions and summaries as well as bar charts for frequency and distribution of Alabama species. This is particularly helpful because the range maps in most field guides are...

Definitely NOT for identifying birds
I didn't pay close attention to the reviews, thinking that I was getting a book on identification/description of birds in Alabama. Nope. If you want to know where to go for birdwatching, this is good. There should be a description of this book provided on the product page to make this point clear. But it you are looking to learn the different species and...

This is an excellent resource and dare I say a "must" for anyone birding Alabama. It is much more current and informative than the Birder's guide to Alabama and Mississippi. It includes detailed directions and summaries as well as bar charts for frequency and distribution of Alabama species. This is particularly helpful because the range maps in most field guides are notoriously inaccurate. If you're a beginner however and you need help with identification, get a field guide - not this.

This review is from: A Birder's Guide to Alabama (Spiral-bound)
This handy little book has seen a lot of use since I purchased it. It is small, compact and colorful, making it easy to carry and to find and identify birds. It is not an encyclopedia - and I am not an Ornithologist - but it serves its purpose well. I have been very pleased with this book and have nothing but good things to say about it.

Extremely useful guide to finding the birdy locations in Alabama,
This review is from: A Birder's Guide to Alabama (Spiral-bound)
This is a VERY detailed guidebook for birding locations throughout Alabama. It provides great directions to many, many locations, is pretty easy to understand and is really indispensable as a resource to finding birds in parts of the state you may not be familiar with. (It is like having an experienced birder with you as you travel to different locations.) What it is not is a reference to help you identify birds. You still need a Field Guide for actual identification. This just helps you know where to look!

But it you are looking to learn the different species and how to identify them, this isn't it. Go for the Audobon field guide to the Eastern region.

The Birds aren't there...,

This review is from: A Birder's Guide to Alabama (Spiral-bound)
Lots of great information, BUT no pictures... So - if you see a bird, you have to read three paragraphs before you can figure out what it is - maybe...
