One of the best ways to learn about birds is to observe them on a
regular basis. Even in a metropolis like New York City, it's impressive
how much avian life can be seen with the appropriate habitat and the
right type of feeder. Cardinals, chickadees, finches, sparrows,
nuthatches, and woodpeckers are frequent visitors to backyards in the
New York metro area. This beautifully illustrated guide features
full-color images as well as useful notes on species' sizes and
diagnostic field marks. There are also handy introductions to birding
and gardening, as well as tips on housing, feeding, and attracting
common bird species. Developed in collaboration with the Cornell Lab of
Ornithology, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is part of
the All About Birds Pocket Guide Series, an in-depth collection of 15
titles on watching, attracting, and feeding birds; nests and eggs; and
regional identification guides. Laminated for durability, this portable
resource is the ideal companion for educators, learners, naturalists,
and birders of all levels who wish to deepen their connection with the
birds in and around New York City. Made in the USA.
