Birds of Michigan

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Book
Review: This is a wonderful book for someone just starting out in bird watching. Before I got this book I had no clue as to what the majority of the birds at my backyard feeder were. It has color life like drawings of all of the Michigan birds along with descriptions of them. Each description includes where they can be found along with the time of year they are found. It also includes descriptions of their size and any unique markings. One of my favorite features is that every description has a couple of cross reference birds that look similar to the one you are looking at so that way you can be sure you are looking at the right description. There is also a very handy quick find reference of all of the birds at the beginning of the book. I always use this first when I spot a new bird. It is wonderful because within several pages are small pictures of all of the birds so you can quickly identify the new one you've found. This is a very handy book to have around even if you don't plan on doing more than watching the birds at your feeder.
