Description:
Geared to beginning birders, the Handbook includes useful advice about selecting binoculars, looking for identification markings, even sketching birds. The presentation follows the usual Dorling Kindersley format: lots of annotated color photographs and illustrations; straightforward text penned by a recognized expert; and helpful appendices on related topics like birdwatching ethics, building a reference library, birding organizations, and taxonomy. A chapter on "Birding Hot Spots" provides maps and locations of particularly rich birding regions throughout North America, while those with a burgeoning interest will appreciate an overview on photographing and recording birds. This is not an ID guide (try National Geographic's Field Guide to the Birds of North America for that), and it's not meant to be carried in the field, but for a would-be birder looking to get started it's a fine primer.
