Publisher's Description of Pocket Guide to the Birds of North America
This fun, affordable, beautifully illustrated introduction to birding is like taking a walk with National Geographic's birding experts. Of this book's 192 pages, 160 are devoted to North America's top species, one per page, from the lowly House Wren to the majestic Bald Eagle. Carefully chosen illustrations and photographs capture the key details and typical behavior of each bird, paired with a short list of essential facts and a fun, fascinating, colloquially written "bird-ography" of each bird. (The latter feature is unique to this beginning field guide). Pictures plus facts plus story: a winning combination. With a small trim size and colorful illustrations, this pocket guide is easy on the eyes and easy to stash. A useful color index aids identification; tips throughout show how to observe, track, and identify birds in nature.
Category Description for National Geographic Pocket Guides To North America
Easy to use, pocket guides are jam packed with information and quality illustrations. This will quickly become your family's favorite go-to resource for information. Today, it may seem simpler to "google" the information. Oftentimes, the online resource is overly simplified and easy to skim without really learning the information. Teaching our children to use print resources is valuable to not only retain information but also to give them tools to teach themselves. Each book provides detailed information for novice to advanced learners, and key facts summarized for each topic. Measuring 4 1/2" x 7 1/2", these books slip easily into your backpack or purse for an on-the-go reference. 178 pgs, pb ~ Deanne
