The Songbirds Bible

The price was great and the book was in mint condition. It contained a CD that had never been opened. I am very, very pleased.

An easy-to-use guide especially meant to be used and enjoyed by bird lovers

Hardcover for durability and spiral-bound to lay flat for easy reference, The Songbirds Bible is a straightforward, visual directory of 100 of the most common and beloved songbirds in North America. Ornithology professor Dr. Noble S. Proctor applies his 40 years of field experience to create detailed entries for each species, including descriptions of distinctive plumage colors, origin, behavior, distribution in North America, feeding and migration habits, how to attract a given species to one's garden, and much more. Highly detailed color illustrations of each species aid in visual identification, and an accompanying music CD of birdsongs will help both novice and seasoned birdwatchers recognize different species by song. An easy-to-use guide especially meant to be used and enjoyed by bird lovers.

Well done!

No matter how many bird identification books you own, this one is a new treasure to add to your collection. It is well presented - especially for the beginner birder - and makes it easy to learn how to match the call/song with the bird. Simplistic, yet very specific in it's information, The Songbird's Bible is much more user friendly than any of the Peterson CD's on Birding By Ear. Illustrations are wonderful. Well done!
