TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
"My Go to Reference"
"This is my go to book to identify and learn about the birds that enjoy our back deck. This is the ideal accompaniment to our hanging bird feeder. The book is a great read for novices and skilled birding enthusiasts. I keep a printed copy in our back porch and enjoy it with my first cup of coffee while the early birds eat their breakfast."

"Wealth of Information"
"This eBook series offers a wealth of information about birds in an approachable way—very unlike a textbook. It reflects Linda Spence's enthusiasm for her subject and her sincere desire to help people learn about the birds that surround us. I now look at birds much more closely than I have in the past, I have learned to focus on things like eye color, bill shape and color, and leg and tail length when I am trying to identify a bird. Her comparisons made of such features between bird species is particularly helpful. I am more observant of bird behavior and interaction as well. I know that reading and referring to this eBook will make me a better birder!"

"An Amazing Read"
"What an astounding tribute to the beautiful birds on display for all to enjoy. This is an
amazing read that teaches you about the broad taxonomic bird class, "Aves" while also
taking a deeper plunge into many specific bird species. Everyone from new bird lovers
all the way to lifelong bird aficionados will be intrigued by this extraordinary book."
