God made birds as beautiful
creatures with
varied colors
and markings and we see today a vast variety. There are many
birds that look very similar to each other however they have
identifiable differences. The best way to know which bird species you
are backyard bird watching or in the field, and not making
a mistake is to
have a wild bird book handy. There are many good bird books
and field books on Bird Watching in North America.
These
books about Birds in North
America
can
range in
quality and price. There are lots of these field guides and bird
watching books that
are very popular. To give you an idea some of the top rated field
guides and bird watching in North American, a
few
have been briefly described here
The Focus
Guide to Birds of North America
by Kenn
Kaufman. This
reference book covers the Birds
in
North America, it covers the different bird species their
colorations
and differences. This is an ideal field guide book as it
fits into your pocket. Unfortunately this book is out of print, but if
you can find it at a second-hand book shop or online, you should
try to
buy it.
The
Sibley Guide to Birds is another
bird
in North America reference book.
There are people who consider this book to be very interesting and
exciting because of its detail. They will tell you that this
book is similar in quality to bird
books by Roger Tory Peterson which where
published in the
beginning
of the 20th century.
Sibley has
over 6600
pictures of the Birds in North
America in his particular bird watching book. The pictures are very
beautiful and the birds
have lifelike poses. As this book is somewhat large sized you may find
it difficult to use as a field guide book. It is a
excellent book for home use or study of bird species.
The The
Field Guide to Birds of North America is
a fifth edition paperback book that is extremely
comprehensive.
This
book by Jon
L. Dunn,and Jonathan
Alderfer covers many
different bird
species and types,not just
the Birds of North
America.It includes
some very rare birds from places like the Western Aleutians Islands of
Alaska and the Dry Tortugas of Florida. Even though this book is fairly
large you should be able to manage using it in the field.
The
last book that I will mention
here is
The
Golden Field Guide, which is a
guide to identifying Birds
in North America in
the field. This book was written by Chandler
S. Robbins and is a
paperback book. While it is the least expensive of bird reference books
it is a very good book to buy as all the Birds in North America are
covered here. The best things about this field guide are the
range maps, bird
descriptions and bird photos that are shown clearly.
The
Audubon
Backyard Birdwatcher: Bird Feeders
and Bird
Gardens by Robert
Burton, Stephen
w. Kress, and National
Audubon Society. This bird
book covers how to create a backyard bird
sanctuary,using feeding and gardening,in including flowers
Hummingbirds love for a true
bird habitat.
These books
and others like them will help you
identify the
birds in and out of your yard and increase your bird watching
experience. Buying a good bird guide to the Birds
in North America or
specific areas like, A
Guide to Bird Finding in New Jersey,
check
out other bird

and
books so you will know the birds you are watching it is a good
idea. Bird books help you
identify all the birds species you will see in
your area and
around your home, as well as on any bird watching treks that you might
go on. If you are interested in birds and bird watching then do not
think twice, go out and buy yourself a good bird watching field guide
to the
birds in your area or in North America today. You will get to
know the birds
in
your backyard or at your feeder, the birds you will see while traveling

this cheap hobby can
really be fun and there is no need for maintenance. If you really find
out or have already found out that bird watching is a hobby for you and
you want to really get involved contact the National Audubon Society.
Thank You for visiting Backyard Bird Watching and enjoy the hobby of birds of North America.
