A series of beginner-to-novice birding books, All About Backyard Birds
is based on the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's number one birding website
allaboutbirds.org, which has had more than 21 million unique users to
date.
All About Backyard Birds delivers best-in-class content and proven
user-friendly formats. Each regional version--eastern/central North
America and western North America--provides 120 of the most popular
species and is filled with beautiful illustrations by Pedro Fernandes.
With charts, maps, and other bird identification tools, All About
Backyard Birds offers beginner birders the ideal way to start birding.
All About Backyard Birds also includes a tutorial for MERLIN(R), an
interactive GPS-based bird identification multimedia app (available in
iTunes and Android stores and already used by more than 1 million
birders), plus a FREE Bird QR book companion app. The app empowers users
with a tap-to-listen birdsong function and gives more information about
special topics throughout the book.
As with all Cornell Lab Publishing Group books, a portion of the net
proceeds from the sale of All About Backyard Birds goes directly to
the Cornell Lab to support projects, including children's educational
and community programs.
