Purchase options and add-ons

A portable, comprehensive field guide--brimming with concise descriptions and stunning color photographs, and designed to fit into your back pocket--from the go-to reference source for over 18 million nature lovers.

This handy guide covers 80 of the most common and frequently encountered birds in backyards and suburban areas of eastern North America. The majority of species are songbirds, but here also are other backyard birds such as doves and woodpeckers. The region covered by the book extends roughly from the Atlantic Ocean west to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, north of Mexico. This traditional dividing line between eastern and western North America follows the 100th meridian, and marks a significant difference in habitats and species. The companion volume to western birds covers species west of this boundary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome learning tool for children and quick reference for anyone
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2010
Verified Purchase
Recently, I purchased three different National Audubon Society Pocket Guides as gifts for nieces and nephews.. They have already spent many hours outdoors, pocket guide in hand, ID'ing and reading about the bird, butterfly or insects they have seen. Their ages range from kindergarten to 4th grade, and working together they are learning what's in their own backyard and a little information about each one. These children spend a lot of time outdoors normally, but I think these pocket guides would entice other children to be more inquisitive about nature and maybe even pick up a hobby that would provide a lifetime of learning and enjoyment - at the same time getting them outdoors and getting exercise in the process.

I would also say that the books are so well illustrated and written that adults would also appreciate them as a gift!

This is a great addition to your library. I've had this book for years and recently gave one to a bird loving friend. It is nice and small and easy to find your favorite birds. The photos and information are excellent.

micro guide broché souple format carte postale datant de 1994 très clair et bien conçu décrivant 80 espèces d'oiseaux communs d'Amérique du nord-ouest; généralités sur quelques pages puis une fiche systématisée par espèce par double-page avec, à gauche, le texte succinct complété d'une micro-carte de répartition n&b et une photo couleur de belle taille en regard à droite; ouvrage non exhaustif à acquérir éventuellement à bas prix pour sa bibliothèque, mais pour un voyage, on préférera un guide d'identification nord-américain plus complet

We were a little disappointed in the size but understand a "pocket guide" must fit a pocket. Great, as far as it goes.
