5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended guide to bird behavior, April 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Birds of Forest, Yard & Thicket (Paperback)

I've owned this book a while and find and it to be an excellent source of information on individual species of birds. For some of us, just learning to recognize birds just isn't enough. Behavior is very interesting also, and this book contains interesting informative information on different birds. This is a must have for the library of every birder.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent illustrations by Amelia Hansen!, March 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Birds of Forest, Yard & Thicket (Paperback)

The best thing about this comprehensive and well-researched reference is the illustrations by Amelia Hansen. If the publisher had only printed these pen-and-ink drawings larger, the book would have been more helpful. Hansen obviously understands the way birds move, rest and interact.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a wonderful book!, November 6, 2011

Ernie Wild "Eddie" (Traverse City, MI) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Birds of Forest, Yard & Thicket (Paperback)

I've enjoyed reading this book so much! I'm new to the bird world and this book has helped me a lot. I think I about have it memorized. Eastman's very readable text and Ms Hansen's superb illustrations make this a complete winner! Not much else to say about it. Worth it's price and then some!
