Description
As a bird watching aficionado, I have come to realize that it is not always convenient or practical to have a bird guide available to identify a newly found feathered friendthat is until this handy resource crossed my desk! Focusing on the most popular Midwest birds, this pocket-size resource is waterproof and tear resistant, making it durable for taking along. Wait - it gets better! What I truly love about this resource is the organization of the most common species of birds grouped by color-coded identification tabs. See a yellow bird that is unfamiliar? Flip open the yellow tab and you will see actual photographs of the twenty most common yellow birds, making identification quick and easy. Tabbed color groupings are: mostly blue, mostly yellow, mostly gray, mostly orange, mostly red, mostly brown, mostly black & white, mostly black and mostly green. Also included is a bird feeding guide, which makes this even more valuable for attracting birds that your family would like to 'meet'. SC. Measures 4 1/4" x 7 ½" for convenient portability, sc. ~Deanne
Publisher's Description of Birds of the Midwest (Adventure Quick Guide)

Category Description for Adventure Quick Guides
Spending time outdoors studying nature was the highlight of our homeschool day when my children were younger. We loved to be outdoors-observing and drawing. At times though, we would see a bird that was unfamiliar. While it was helpful to have a comprehensive bird guide with us, we often found it difficult to locate and identify the bird before he flew away! These quick guides have a definite advantage
over the larger bird guides! Organized by color, each page provides a snapshot of 10 birds with a brief description of other markings. That is all. Short, sweet and helpful! Added benefit, sections offer color-coded tabs that match birds. For example in the Birds of the Southwest, flip to the blue tab and you see 2 pages identified as "Mostly Blue" birds. A sampling of images included is: Mountain Bluebird, Blue Grosbeak, Lazuli Bunting and Belted Kingfisher. Spiral bound, water-proof books, measure approximately 4 1/2x7 1/2"-perfect to tuck into your pocket or back pack. Approx. 20 pgs. ~Deanne
