The Young Birder's Guide to Birds of Eastern North America

Buy Now!

This lively guide is an invitation to kids to get outside and look at birds. Unlike field guides for adults, which can be overwhelming, this one provides just the right amount of information to be useful and fun. Lifelong birder Bill Thompson consulted his 11-year-old daughter’s class for advice on what would make the book most helpful for kids. The result is a field guide kids can use on their own, without help from an adult. Loaded with color photographs, drawings, interesting facts, range maps and an easy-to-use species checklist, it’s the perfect companion for hours of birdwatching fun. Learn More >>

Identify Yourself: 50 Common Bird ID Challenges

Buy Now!

Identify Yourself is a must-have for all bird watchers who are driven crazy by trying to distinguish between similar species. Based on the Bird Watcher's Digest column of the same name, the book examines groupings of bird species that are commonly encountered but difficult to identify. Black-billed cuckoo or yellow-billed cuckoo? Purple finch or house finch? Cooper's hawk or sharp-shinned hawk? Entire chapters are devoted to identifying confusing sparrows, fall warblers, shorebirds, gulls, and other birds. The book combines clear, easy-to-understand text with beautiful illustrations by Julie Zickefoose. The paintings show key field marks and allow for easy visual comparison. Learn More >>
