Editorial Reviews

Review

Indispensable for anyone planning to visit the North Carolina coast.

Wilson Bulletin

This book has everything to help a birder find the coastal North Carolina birds.

Virginian Pilot & Ledger-Star

An indispensable resource for anyone interested in the bird life of the North Carolina coast.

Marcus B. Simpson, Jr., author of Birds of the Blue Ridge Mountains

Exhaustive and inspiring.

Claudia Wilds, author of Finding Birds in the National Capital Area



Product Description

A popular destination for bird-watchers from across the country, the coastal region of North Carolina is a seasonal home to approximately 400 species of birds, some of which are found more easily here than anywhere else in the United States. A Birder's Guide to Coastal North Carolina is the first guide to the prime bird-watching spots of the Tar Heel coast and nearby areas—including national seashores, national forests and wildlife refuges, state parks and game lands, and other public areas.

Written for both casual and serious birders, the book features detailed site guides to the entire coastal region, including the Outer Banks. John Fussell provides an annotated checklist, habitat information, and bar graphs indicating seasonal abundance for all regularly occurring species. The book also includes a chapter on the 140 most sought-after species on the coast. Fussell describes the best places and conditions—seasonal, weather, and tidal—for finding these popular varieties. Detailed maps of most of the major birding sites complement the text.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for birders in North Carolina, January 11, 2003
By A Customer
This book is a wonderful resource for people who want to know where to go to find birds in North Carolina. It is detailed and thorough. It might be a bit intimidating for newcommers to birding but shouldn't be. It is a wonderful companion to a field guide for anyone lining or visiting in NC. A prior review by Chuck Riddle rated it low because it had no pictures. The reviewer apparently was expecting a field guide and unfortunatly rated the book based on his mistaken expectations.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible for Birding the NC coast, May 14, 2007
By M. Swaim (NC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Anybody that's at all serious about birding the fabulous NC coast needs this book. This will help focus efforts on the most productive, most reliable spots and will make figuring out where to go along the NC coast into a fun and rewarding experience. Fussell knows the NC coast like few others, and he shares that knowledge in fine detail, including very specific driving directions to some little known hotspots. Fussell tells not only where to bird, but when to bird and for what specific species. This book has not only helped increase my life list, but it's helped me really explore some of the places along the coast that are somewhat away from the maddening crowds and off the beaten path.
