Gorgeous full-color photos of your favorite backyard birds

Most birding handbooks are written as a reference guide. This one is different. In addition to the full-color, full-page photos of dozens of your favorite backyard birds, George Harrison has written a narative on the facing page of his personal observations and encounters with these delightful songsters. This is a book for READING, not just for referencing. It is a treat for the eye and the mind!
