An informative and eye-catching full-color reference book for backyard bird enthusiasts, The Backyard Birdwatcher’s Bible is beautiful enough to be a coffee table book and practical enough to be a guide for both beginner and expert birders alike. An elegant aesthetic is paired with practical tips on identifying, attracting, and caring for backyard birds, as well as crafting bird-friendly gardens and birdhouses. Photographs include images of both males and females, and maps explain the range of the species. This is the perfect gift for any birder, and one that birders who buy it for themselves will refer to again and again. Packed with information and beautiful full-color photography and art, bird experts and artists Paul Sterry, Christopher Perrins, Sonya Patel Ellis, and Dominic Couzens flock together to offer a cornucopia of information: Species profiles: how to identify species, their habitats, their diets, and their status. Birdwatching for beginners: expert information about the life cycle of a bird, from hatchling to adult. Information about birdsongs, details about territories and nests and eggs, and much more, including essential practical advice for birdwatchers in the field. Creating a bird-friendly backyard: information on birdfeeders, breeding shelters, and flowers and shrubbery to plant in order to entice the winged visitors to visit and stay. A lively lesson on birds in art: beautiful and educational, with classic and modern art, and photographs. From Audubon to Taiichiro Yoshida, who creates delicate metal work to create bird images, the art is inspiring. The bestselling “Bible” series includes The Backyard Birdwatcher’s Bible, The Backyard Chicken Keeper's Bible, The Backyard Stargazer's Bible, The Beekeeper’s Bible , and The Botanical Bible ―each one a celebration of nature, knowledge, and hands-on discovery. Review: Wonderful Book and Well Made - I fall in love with wildlife books, birds are one of my favorites and this hardcover was put together very well, the introduction was especially written well, the colorful illustrations are fabulous and the information and tips were also written well, easy to understand. My top bookshelf contains a lot of books on birds from all over the world and this “The Backyard Birdwatcher’s Bible” fits perfectly in line with my other books but I will be reading and studying the books content regularly, it’s one of those books a true bird lover will keep close at hand. The Bottom Line: The Hardcover Book appears well made, the pages are good quality and have good thickness to prevent tearing after many turns. The print is easily readable, the illustrations are beautiful and most of the pertinent information is at provided. This book gets my thumbs up for sure! Review: Beautiful & Informative - Even better than I imagined! High quality hardback and paper stock. Has 4 chapters (Backyard Bird Species, Birdwatching for Beginners, Attracting Birds, and Birds in Art). The Birds in Art chapter has past and current artists, which I am looking forward to reading. Tons of photos, artwork, and geographical color maps to locate where you might find certain birds. I wouldn't recommend for taking out in the field - book itself is slightly damaged on the back so I don't think it's meant to be outside.

Wow!!! This book has everything.
Where do I start with this gorgeous book? I own more bird books than you can imagine, and I have no idea how I got along without this one for so long. The photographs are stunning, as is all the information. This is a big book you'll be consulting every day for the joy of looking and reading about the birds you love.

Great value for the cost
Really great book! Complete book on not only information about the birds, but also how to go about being a bird watcher and how to set bird habitats up for yourself. Hardcover and beautiful pictures!

Gorgeous Book and Pleasant to Read
The book is pretty new so it is a bit stiff at first but the cover is attractive and the book is bound well. The pictures and descriptions inside are not only lovely but helpful. We have identified some of the birds in our region with the aid of this book. It is great resource and a beautiful coffee table book. Would be a great gift to give too!

One of the most beautiful books I have ever had the privilege to own. The book is brimming to burst with the most gorgeous photos of every bird imaginable. Full of great useful information, and perfectly presented. A great gift for every bird watcher or just the casual companion to a backyard bird-feeder.
