They should do some fact checking
I was excited when I found this book but my excitement has been curbed once I tried to use it. I went looking for the Edson Fichter Nature Trail this morning and the directions were not very accurate. You are suppose to go southeast on Arthur until it turns into the Bancock Highway. What they didn't mention was that Arthur turns into Main Street before it turns into Bancock. But the real bummer ...

Excellent introduction to birding!
I am a neophyte birder and this book was perfect as a beginning guide in identifying and recognizing common birds in the western region. The other bird guides I have purchased (National Geographic and Audubon) were exceptional, but for a novice, they presented too much information and too many birds. This book struck a nice, comfortable compromise. The photos of each bird are excellent and ...

Sean Dooley

Allen & Unwin, 2006

Big Twitch
Australian birder Sean Dooley describes his Big Year, an effort to break the record for the most birds seen in Australia (and environs) in a year. I loved this birding memoir. Dooley is a lively, humorous, engaging writer, and his Australian slang makes his voice particularly come alive, at least for this American reader. He conveys a passion for his pursuit and a concern for wildlife and the ...

Fantastic book for id of sparrows!!
In the winter time here in Virginia we get a number of differnt types of sparrows that migrate in. I love watching them but was having difficulty determining which types were which from just the regular field guides so I asked around and one of our local birders recommended this to me. Its terrific! The pictures of the birds are close-up - as if you were holding the bird or were sitting on the ...
