HummingbirdsHummingbirds, or “hummers” as they are often known, are the smallest of all birds. Solely inhabiting the New World, they are very tiny and have incredible flight powers and brilliant, iridescent colors. These characteristics make field identification problematic, but hummers are readily attracted to sugar-water feeders, where they can be studied. |
Auks, Murres, and PuffinsSpectacular and with many species easily observed at their remote breeding colonies, alcids pose a challenge to scrutinize and identify at sea, where they spend most of their time—much of it submerged. A typical birder’s view is of distant birds in flight, often in rough sea condition. Identifications are best based on pattern of dark and light-colored plumage, bill shape (if visible), and subtle differences in body shape and flight style. |
PelicansPelicans are instantly recognizable very large fisheating birds with long, hooked bills and extensive gular pouches. In North America, the Brown Pelican inhabits subtropical and temperate coastlines and the American White Pelican breeds in interior western and central parts of the continent and winters along southern coastlines. Identification is straightforward in North America, less so in other parts of the world |

Birding EssentialsComprehensive and authoritative, yet engaging and user-friendly, this book teaches readers how to begin and improve their birding... what to look and listen for... and how to make sense of what they see and hear. A unique visual component shows actual field guide pages and how to read them, while another compares the same bird in photography versus artwork and explains how to use both for species identification. |
Complete Birds of North AmericaEssential, comprehensive, and easy to use, the revised edition of National Geographic Complete Birds of North America is an astonishing resource that covers every bird species found in North America as well as all the seasonal visitors. |

Filled with hand-painted illustrations from top nature artists, including details and annotations to point out key identification features, the 7th edition features 1,023 species with 3,500 illustrations and 900 range and migration maps. |
Backyard Guide to the BirdsFor casual birdwatchers young and old who want a quick and easy guide to the 150 birds most likely to visit their backyards and birdfeeders.

Giving 3 stars not for the writting, truth is it is a 5 star book, beautiful, great information and imagery, and a great resource for any birders library! 3 stars for the quality of the book, I don't know if it is just production or if it happened during shipping, as it is a fairly heavy book, but the cover has broke from the binding. Opening the package to find it this way was kind of a bummer but I will just tape it up and it should be good. Buyer be aware that you may receive a book that can easily fall apart, if not right away, then the weight and constant use on a less than secure binding will do it in!
