Book Description

October 20, 2004

Like gardening, bird watching is a fast-growing regional hobby. Now, Cool Springs Press brings its proven method of successful state-specific gardening approach to bird watching guides. In collaboration with Bird Watcher's Digest, these bird watching guides provide accessible, credible advice.

The birds that frequent the backyards of South Carolina differ from the birds that frequent the backyards of Tennessee. In addition to unique descriptions, each bird profile includes a range map to identify each bird's North American distribution. One hundred birds are profiled, each with a color photograph, to ensure accurate identification. A seasonal section informs the reader of:
Migrating birds that can be seen during that season
The foods and plants that can attract those birds
Where to go to view year-round and migrating birds

Cool Springs Press's partner, Bird Watcher's Digest, has sold more than 4 million copies of their booklets on bird species, bird habitat, feeding, and other related topics.

This series of books from Cool Springs Press targets the beginning bird watchers for ten states.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice book, but..., December 31, 2006
This review is from: South Carolina Bird Watching: A Year-Round Guide (Paperback)
I am originally from the UK and have always had a huge interest in birds, but I have yet to learn about the birds I see here in South Carolina.

This is the only bird book I have for South Carolina/the USA, so I cannot compare it to similar books, but I would say that it is a good book to have for identifying birds that you spot in your yard or wherever.

I really like this book because

- it has nice clear pictures
- it tells you what you can expect to spot in each season
- it shows you the silhouettes of hawks and vultures, so you can tell at a glance what they are, even though they seem to be miles above you
- it tells you the food preferences and housing preferences of birds, so that you can encourage your favourite birds to visit
- it tells you local places to go to spot birds
- it tells you which birds are likely to be attracted to bird boxes, bird baths, bird feeders etc

The only negative thing I have to say about this book is that, for me, it doesn't go into enough detail about the birds, specifically size details and bird calls.

Don't get me wrong, it is a very informative book, with lots of hints and tips and useful information, but you might find that you need another book to accompany it, if you want a little more detail about the individual birds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Occasional bird watcher, January 9, 2007
By 
This review is from: South Carolina Bird Watching: A Year-Round Guide (Paperback)
I'm not a die-hard bird watcher, but do feed them and enjoy them frequenting our property. Since moving to South Carolina, I have seen many that I am unfamiliar with, so this was the perfect book for me.
