4.0 out of 5 stars Sokes Oriole Guide Review, May 23, 2000

By	Daryl Lindstrom (Minnesota, USA) - See all my reviews

I enjoyed this book alot as you can see by me rating. It has alot of colorfull pictures, but could have more. It provides good information and it is to the point but they could have gone further to explain it better. They could have provided more information on specific feeders, and pictures and brand names to go along with their descriptions. All together I thought this was a great book. I would encourage any one who is interested in orioles or birds in general to read it.
