I have recently moved to the mountains of North Carolina. So I was excited to see a book just for me. It is not too large and it has clear and lovely photos. It begins and ends with a lot of basic bird care, feeding housing, attracting, etc. and landscape information.
Alas, almost every time I turn to this book to identify a bird at my feeder or along a drive into town, that particular bird is not there. The birds that are included in this book are common to North Carolina, but there are so many more that are also common. Where are they?
I think there could have been less "padding" (such as, how to build a birdhouse) at the beginning and end of the book and more actual bird information to have made it a useful tool.

this proved to be a perfect resource for grandma to reference the different birds she saw from her porch in the woods..she has such fun with this book..great buy!!!

North Carolina Bird Watching: A Year-Round Guide I was very pleased with this book. The pictures were very clear. They were a little smaller than I expected. But overall it was a great help in indentifying the species.

This book is done in such a way that even a younger person would enjoy it. The pictures are great. I would recommend this to a novice or an expert bird watcher.

This book has more details than I've been able to pick up from local birders. Each bird has disctint information for their specific species. I added this as an extra backup for another book I have purchased that actually contains an audio comentary. I'll write more of a review about that under the Stan Tekiela Birds of the Carolinas review. This book has great pitures they look HD so you can easily identify the bird you're after. I think I actually bought this book to see if I could find a rare bird that now frequents my back yard at the beginning of every summer and late spring. Neither book had it the bird was not local to this area at all and had been driven off a migration path in a huge storm a couple weeks before. Sad story...the bird comes back to my yard every year looking for a mate. Sorry buddy, she won't be dropping in.

Beautiful pictures and very informative about the habits and sounds of the birds

It was a used book, but it looked new. I have gotten used books in wonderful condition.
