100 species of songbirds
5By 100 species of songbirdsI liked the pictures in this book a lot and there is a lot of colors. The author did a good job with the pictures. -an iPad fanDisappointed
1By Jamies Got a GunBeautiful pictures! HOWEVER, would have liked more than profile views. Looked for front/ top view of heads for identifying marks. Top, wings open, bottom, wings open. Again to correctly identify some birds, who were in general close to monochromatic in color.M
5By Matthew P S.AwesomeGreat!!
5By EvilOne1967Pictures are fantastic! Great way to identify birds when bird watching. However, the only minor thing it lacks is how the regions should be added to where these birds can be seen. Love it, though! Great job! I highly recommend it!Great Picture Book
5By aBraveLifeI've always loved wildlife (specifically birds), but was inspired to buy this book after reading Tony Northrup's photography book (Stunning Digital Photography). They are both excellent! This book is filled with gorgeous pictures of birds and is perfect for any bird lover. Hopefully, with the help of the author's how-to book, I'll be taking beautiful bird pics of my own someday
