Garden Birds of America: A Gallery of Garden Birds & How to Attract Them

Rating:
Summary: Beautiful photography
Review: I've been hunting for a book about common backyard birds which had big, clear pictures, to make it easier for my young kids (5, 3 and 1.5 years) to see the distinguishing characteristics of each bird. The photographs in this book are beautiful! The colors are crisp, details are vivid. Many of the scenes are breathtaking -- birds in flight, feeding their young. The pictures are also large, each occupies an entire page.

Of course, Harrison includes information on the birds -- descriptions, what they eat, their habitats, how to attract them, etc. The info is at par with the other bird books. The photos make the difference. I highly recommend this for both beginner bird watchers (like my family), and for bird lovers.
