Bird Books

Bird-watching is America's second most popular hobby after gardening. According to a recent survey, approximately 63 million Americans report that they watch and feed birds at home. With its beautiful, full-color layout, The Backyard Bird Feeder's Bible is the ideal guide for beginning to intermediate bird-watchers. Author Sally Roth's reassuring and friendly voice makes this book a standout among the many academic-style bird books currently available.

Each colorful section is arranged alphabetically and addresses birds from each region of the country—even explaining the different food requirements for birds in different regions. Roth helps readers cut the costs of their favorite activity with economical tips throughout, from buying less expensive seed like cracked corn to using food leftovers as winter treats. Readers will delight in the full-color photographs of the most popular feeder birds and will enjoy projects for making feeders, food mixtures, and “food crafts,” such as birdseed wreaths.
