The ultimate gift book for every bird lover and bird-watcher, whether a backyard beginner or an experienced expert. This book reaches every age and birding interest. With a lighter approach than a field guide, this is the ultimate book for everyone passionate about birds--not only the dedicated birder but also the lady who decorates her kitchen with cardinals or the family that maintains birdfeeders all winter long. From birds in mythology to practical advice on birdhouses, from Audubon and Roger Tory Peterson to Angry Birds, The Bird-watcher's Bible covers the world of birds and bird lovers and offers a wealth of interesting information, useful pointers, amusing trivia, short thought pieces, top ten lists, plus how-to instructions on many aspects of bird-watching. This book belongs on every family bookshelf...and kitchen table, looking out the window at the birdfeeder!
