to Birds of Eastern North America
Bill Thompson III, Houghton Mifflin Company, flex-bound, 256 pages.
"This book has 200 of the most common birds of the Eastern US, but two-thirds of them work in the west as well. Although this book was written especially for children age 8-12, it should have said 'for all new birders, no matter what the age' - a great resource to get you started or keep you going."
--- Jeff Riegel, Director, BirdCountry.US
Bill Thompson' daughter, Phoebe, was the inspiration for this book and her classmates were Bill's focus group throughout its development. Each species includes photos and range maps as well as what to look for and what to listen for. On top of that, a WOW! fact researched by the student's themselves, adds to one's knowledge of the bird and birding. For instance, did you know that nesting tree swallows will use white craft-store feathers to line their nests? Or, how about the fact that Solitary Sandpipers nests in old bird nests in trees. What a fantastic way to get the attention of our next generation of birders around the country.
