26 years and counting: still The best guide to date
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Although this book contains few color pictures (the first edition copy I own)it still remains the best bird feeding book ever published. If you want cute pictures birds at a bird feeder this may not be the book for you, however if you want information and facts backed by research about how to attract birds to your backyard this remains THE best book. First published 26 years ago I can not find a book with more useful information than this book. It's fun to read and loaded with information. It does contain lots of excellent photos but they are in B & W.
