Book Description

National Geographic Field Guide to Birds October 4, 2005
National Geographic Field Guide to Birds provides affordable, portable, reliable region-specific information, perfect for the novice or experienced birder. In each guide, an introduction by an expert birder from the region offers guidance on where to look for key birds. An opening section gives pointers on how to look for key birds and what to focus on when you spot them. Each guide features approximately 150 birds, grouped by family. Two indexes: one alphabetical and one color-coded help readers identify a bird quickly.

Each entry has a vivid photograph showing the bird in its native habitat. On the facing page, there is a list of bulleted points of field identification clues as well as behavioral and habitat information, and the best local places to find the bird. Special field notes give additional i.d. or behavioral information and detailed maps show the range of each bird's habitat. With comprehensive coverage of the region and valuable advice from experts, these user-friendly guides will quickly become favorite companions on the journey to lifelong birding.

North and South Carolina, a favorite among bird watchers, are homes to a wide variety of birds that live in the western mountainous terrain or the eastern shorelines.

4.0 out of 5 stars a nice, easy-to-use, guide., December 17, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: National Geographic Field Guide to Birds: The Carolinas (Paperback)
This is a nice, simply guide to Carolina birds. A nice feature is the index by bird color (which also has little headshots of the birds) -- this makes it very easy to identify your backyard friends.

4.0 out of 5 stars National Geographic Field Guide to Birds: The Carolinas, October 19, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: National Geographic Field Guide to Birds: The Carolinas (Paperback)
A good publication overall. Good color plates. I was expecting a larger format. The type is quite small for aging eyes. On the other hand the small format makes it easily portable= an advantage in a field guide.
