Description
Publisher's Description of Birds of the Southwest (Adventure Quick Guides)
At the cabin, in the garden, or on a hike, keep this tabbed booklet close at hand. Based on Stan Tekiela's best-selling bird field guides and featuring 140 Southwest birds of Arizona, Southern California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, West Texas, and Utah, the booklet is organized by color for quick and easy bird identification. Narrow your choices by color, and view detailed photographs of just a few birds at a time. The pocket-sized format is much easier to use than laminated foldouts, and the tear-resistant pages help to make the book durable in the field.
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
