5.0 out of 5 stars Great informative bird feeder book!, March 10, 2000
This book is perfect for anyone who is thinking about putting up a bird feeder or another bird feeder like myself. The first section in this book deals with the different kinds of feeders, how to attract the bird, and troubleshooting problems. Following that section is a part on bird behavior. Finally, their is a long section of birds. For each bird, the Stokes identify what they eat and like. In the back of the book there is a list of resources for bird feeders and supplies. Finally, the last few pages show how to keep a bird feeder journal. I very well rounded informative book. I would recommend it to anyone who's feeding feathered friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great how-to guide for any backyard birder, November 11, 2001
The Stokes have put out several books on birds, and definitely know their stuff. It shows in this book, which has just about everything you could ask for.

One section goes over the different types of feeders, and the various seeds that birds enjoy. Hummingbirds get their own special mention, as do squirrel baffle techniques. There's even a section on bird behavior - what to watch for, what certain things mean.

Then the book goes into the common birds found at backyard feeders. There are lovely photos of each bird, a map showing where they tend to live, how to tell them from other similar birds, how they act, what they eat, and much more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book For a Beginner, February 13, 2005
As a complete novice to birding and gardening, I found this book a helpful starting point. It does not identify many species, but did help me recognize most of the birds coming to my newly purchased feeders. It contains only the most common birds, the Tufted Titmouse, Cardinals, Black-capped and Carolina Chickadees, etc.

It also contained helpful information as to what common birds favor what types of feeders and provided information on some bird behavior and how to buy binoculars.

The maps of where the birds are found are not very detailed. They also purposely leave out any information on birds some may find undesirable, like Starlings and House Sparrows, which can be aggressive and keep small songbirds away.

This guide is for the utmost, novice and does not contain extremely detailed information on identifying and feeding birds. The information is very generalized and only covers common backyard birds.

Nevertheless, it is a helpful introduction only for someone like me who knew next to nothing when I purchased it.
