4.0 out of 5 stars Good magazine about wild birds......, May 11, 2005

By	Dianne Foster "Di" (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

I don't know what distinguishes WILDBIRD from other periodicals about the subject, perhaps it is a `bird-of-the-month' approach, but I do find the articles and photographs, columns and "departments" interesting and informative. For example, the May/June issue of WB is promoted as the `15th Annual Hummingbird Issue' and includes a somewhat lengthy essay, "Beginner's Guide to Hummingbird ID by Sherri Williamson, co-founder of the SE Arizona Bird Observatory. Another article is entitled, "Hummingbird Helpers: How you can contribute to the study and aid of Hummingbirds". The latter is by Wildbird Advisory Board member Peter Strangel who coordinates bird conservation efforts for the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation in Atlanta, and who writes a recurring column for WB. A Hummingbird photo-essay by Ralph Paonessa is also included, as well as articles on backyard birds and birds in South America about - you guessed it - Hummingbirds.

WB displays a keen interest in photography, sponsoring an annual photography contest and includes regular columns on conservation, as well as an `Ornithology 101', and other recurring useful topics.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wildbird, April 15, 2005

By	Bridget DeBowdare - See all my reviews

I liked the magazine because it stayed with the articles on the cover and more on different birds, from the habits, to locating birds, what they eat, nesting patterns, ect. My favorite part of the magazine was the Bird Jokes, Contests. Wonderful magazine with pictures for kids and adults, a treasure find for any bird lover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Magazine for Beginner or Pro, January 23, 2008

By	Donna Lash (Leesport, Pa United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just received my first magazine and I like it very much. Great pictures which are a big help for me to match with the birds I see in my backyard. I watch birds for the fun and pleasure it gives me, but I like to know a little about what I am seeing and this magazine will be a big help to me.
