Editorial Reviews

You can take your Peterson, Sibley and Kaufman. Keep Dunne on the shelf. National Geographic, too. If the book weighs more than the binocular, beginners just won’t bite. So for our friends just starting to bird – and we mean those birding within 50 feet of their back window – we’re giving them a started guide they can handle. We love the “don’t overwhelm me” feel of these new pocket books from Waterford Press. These folding guides provide folds of laminated full-color.
