By	Charlotte L. Melching "Char" (Homosassa, Fl.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a good book with good pictures and information. I only wish it covered more birds with more information about each bird. Some questions that I had about certain birds were not answered. And some birds that I see in my own backyard are not in the book.
