great Massachusetts backyard bird identifier!

I picked up this guide a couple of yers ago because I wanted to be able to identify birds in my backyard, in a suburb northwest fo Boston. It is incredible! Since it's only for Massachusetts you don't have to skim through a huge book with birds not from the area. I have learned so much and can now identify many birds that I otherwise could not have. Lost on concise info and facts about each bird per page.

very user friendly

For me personally, the best thing about this book is that I don't have to put my glasses on to read it. I love the color coding! I can quickly grab the book, open to the correct color combination and then just thumb through a few photos (not the whole darn book!) Most of the time the bird is still there to cross reference. Great little book.

Excellent choice

Easy to use even as a novice birder. Love sitting out on the deck and being able to tell what is eating at our bird feeder. Love the book so much i'm going to buy a second one for my parents!

just enough for non-professional

I must agree with all the other four reviews. I enjoy watching birds in nature, (Shore, ponds, Cape Cod and house yard), but I am not professional. I found this book (and series) very helpful; it is organized by color (birds that are mostly blue, green, etc..) so it is very easy to use. Each bird is pictured on the left side page. the right page has a small Massachusetts map in which season and where you can find the bird. It also contains description of male, female, juvenile - Information on nest, migration, etc...., then the author's notes.
I did not have difficulty identifying a bird yet, and the amount of information (each page is 4.5 x 6 inches) is just enough for non-professional bird watcher.

Excellant

I was at a party where the hostess had this book out because she had so many different birds frequenting her feeders. Great book, great pictures and I love the way they categorized the birds. Yellow, orange, blue, etc. So you didn't have to know the name, but you look at the colors to find the bird you saw.

reviews: page 1, 2

Learn about and identify birds using Stan Tekiela's state-by-state field guides. The full-page, color photos are incomparable and include insets of winter plumage, color morphs and more. Plus, with the easy-to-use format, you don't need to know a bird's name or classification in order to easily find it in the book. Using this field guide is a real pleasure. It's a great way for anyone to learn about the birds in your state.
