5.0 out of 5 stars Identifying made easy, January 29, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Birds of the Pacific Northwest Coast (Paperback)
I am just a beginner birdwatcher and this book was so easy for me to locate the different birds I saw. Very informative-Good drawings and a great price. I just love this book. Being from the Pacific Northwest I didn't want to look through the books that displayed all North American birds. It would take me forever to find the bird I saw and I would forget most of the time what the features were. With this book-refined down to the pacific northwest birds- it is so easy and QUICK to identify the birds in my backyard and on the coast. Pick one up today....you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bird Book, July 14, 2009
This review is from: Birds of the Pacific Northwest Coast (Paperback)
I'm new to bird watching - in my backyard. In the Salem Oregon area. Was surprised how many different birds come to my feeders. Mostly Finch and Finch like birds. This book is great. Not a paper back as such. It is 8.5 X 5.5 and all pages are glossy and in full color. Well indexed and easy to find subject birds. If you are interested in birds of the Pacific N.W. - this is a good book. Am sure you won't be disappointed.
