Birds of Virginia Field Guide

Rating:
Summary: Neat Bird Guide
Review: I bought this book originally to draw the pictures of the birds I found inside. The pictures are wonderful....much better than most field guides. The information provided is also excellent - it says where in VA and when you will see each particular bird, along with details of their feathers, nests, eggs, and more. Each bird has a paragraph dedicated to specific information about that particular bird. It also includes a similar species reference. Very useful and interesting for those looking to learn a little more about the birds in their own backyards. The index also includes a list for you to check off which birds you've seen. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn a little more about VA birds.

Summary: A great guide
Review: I love this "Birds of Virginia" book. Well done! The color plates are beautiful with interesting notes about each bird's features. I particularly like "Stan's Notes". For example, I learned more about the Cedar Waxwing and Flicker today from the book, even though I have seen them for years before. I moved to Virginia recently from Massachusetts and am very pleased to see the New England harbinger of spring here in Virginia year-round - the Robin!
