Must have read thru 2 dozen or more books ordered thru local library recommended for Birds for our area..and THIS ONE..was the the NUMBER ONE favorite of ours..as we are now buying one to keep. Birds of Ohio..is VERY well organized for easy locating of the birds in our area - NICE photos with smaller photos on same page for most showing female of that species. Handy size. Great information. We are luring Orioles and bluebirds to home site and love watching all the other birds here. My husband is pressing me for last week..to get online and order this charming informative book. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

This book has been perfect for me, a beginner bird watcher, because instead of listing by the latin or even common names, which would have been no help to me, it organizes the birds by color. So as long as you're not color blind, it's easy to find the different specimens you're looking for. My only complaint is that I would like to see a bit more description. Otherwise, it's perfect for beginners!

This field guide reduces the number of birds seen in Ohio from more than 400 to the 113 most common. Photos of both the male and female are shown. The birds are grouped by color which helps beginning birders. I highly recommend this bbok.

FINALLY A FIELD GUIDE TO THE BIRDS OF OHIO. ALTHOUGH MANY BIRDS WERE LEFT OUT OVER 100+ OF THE MOST COMMON ARE INCLUDED. COLOR TABS HELP IN IDENTIFYING MANY FEMALE BIRDS. SMALL SIZE MAKES IT EASY TO CARRY IN YOUR COAT POCKET. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS FIELD GUIDE TO ANYONE BIRDING IN OHIO.

My 3 1/2 year old loves to "consult" this book while watching for birds at the feeder. The beautiful photos allow even children to easily identify birds. It's not only a beautiful guide but a great learning tool.

I work at a nature center and the photos are excellent for use on hikes, when not all the kids saw the bird. The order of species makes identification from this book rather difficult, but it's a great little book overall!

I have had this book for 2 years and I am always looking in it every time I see a different bird in my yard. We have woods behind our home so I am always seeing something new! This book tells it all.

Bought one for me and one for my mother in law. We both feed the backyard birds. Always curious what bird is in the feeder or water....Now we can look it up. Set up by birds color so it's a snap to find.
