Hardcover - 160 pages - by Jo S. Kittinger
DK Publishing
An easy-to-use guide to 140 species of birds found primarily
in the western region of North America. Each page contains detailed
information such as where the bird lives, the type of nest it
builds, how it sounds, what it eats, and how it looks.
The photos show the brilliant colors of each bird in spring
and summer (called "breeding plumage"). Each page also
includes a map with colors to show what time of year that particular
bird might be in your area. Learn how and when birds migrate,
and how each bird differs from the other. This is a fantastic
introduction to birdwatching for all ages, but written especially
with kids in mind. Small enough to tuck into a backpack or jacket
pocket, it measures approximately 7"x5", & is 160
pages in length. Contains over 1,000 color photographs!
