A dandy guide to coastal California birds. Nicely done March 10, 2006
I live on the Southern California coast, and I wanted a book that would help me quickly identify the birds I am photographing, and tell me a little bit about them. This book does the job; it has excellent photos of the various bird species, and interesting write-ups about them. In the appendix there is a nice discussion of the various ecological parks and preserves in Southern California, and what types of wildlife one might expect to see there.
A good value.
More of the same, plus February 25, 2006
Pretty much the same as most guide books to birds of the southwest region, with some added and better locations given. Well layed-out, good photos.
