This review is from: Virginia Birds: An Introduction to Familiar Species (State Nature Guides) (Pamphlet)
Even though I am an avid birder and have many standard guide books I also own over a dozen of the foldable guides in this series. I use them as "flash cards" before a trip in order to become familiar with the common birds in a particular area so I can spot the unusual ones quicker. I also give them to my non-birding companions so I can share the joy of identifying wild birds. It is not as intimidating to them as a Sibley's or a Peterson's guide book. I should mention that the guide has less than half of the birds that can spotted in the region but it does cover the most popular species. However, it is great for a primer or for beginners and children.

This has been a great addition to our homeschool nature studies! We keep it near the backdoor, outside of which is located several bird feeders. Perfect size/length for kids--not too overwhelmingly long, but with great pics of many common VA birds. My 5yo son loves it! **We also love other guides in this same series, and many are eligible for the 4-for-3 promotion. Also love that they're laminated; they seem very durable and have already withstood some abuse from our resident 1yo.
