Product Description

Like gardening, bird watching is a fast-growing regional hobby. Now, Cool Springs Press brings its proven method of successful state-specific gardening approach to bird watching guides. In collaboration with Bird Watcher's Digest, these bird watching guides provide accessible, credible advice.

The birds that frequent the backyards of North Carolina differ from the birds that frequent the backyards of Tennessee. In addition to unique descriptions, each bird profile includes a range map to identify each bird's North American distribution. One hundred birds are profiled, each with a color photograph, to ensure accurate identification. A seasonal section informs the reader of:
Migrating birds that can be seen during that season
The foods and plants that can attract those birds
Where to go to view year-round and migrating birds

Cool Springs Press's partner, Bird Watcher's Digest, has sold more than 4 million copies of their booklets on bird species, bird habitat, feeding, and other related topics.

This series of books from Cool Springs Press targets the beginning bird watchers for ten states.

3 out of 5 stars An Elementary Book, not a useful reference   August 9, 2007
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I have recently moved to the mountains of North Carolina. So I was excited to see a book just for me. It is not too large and it has clear and lovely photos. It begins and ends with a lot of basic bird care, feeding housing, attracting, etc. and landscape information.
Alas, almost every time I turn to this book to identify a bird at my feeder or along a drive into town, that particular bird is not there. The birds that are included in this book are common to North Carolina, but there are so many more that are also common. Where are they?
I think there could have been less "padding" (such as, how to build a birdhouse) at the beginning and end of the book and more actual bird information to have made it a useful tool.

North Carolina Bird Watching: A Year-Round Guide I was very pleased with this book. The pictures were very clear. They were a little smaller than I expected. But overall it was a great help in indentifying the species.
