During the fall and winter, when most of the birds have migrated south, it is a great time to improve your knowledge of birds. Improving your knowledge of birds is important when trying to attract more birds to your yard or when identifying a particular type of bird. An informative book is a great way to increase your knowledge of both birds and attracting birds to your yard.
One of my favorite bird books is the National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Birds. This informative book has great information on birds that are native to North America. You will learn all about the birds that live in your zone and their feeding and living habits. This type knowledge is ideal for learning how to attract the birds you want to see to your yard with seed, feeders, and shelter. In addition, this book is great for taking with you as a guide on a nature walk in the park or the woods. You will want to have this great book with every time you are bird watching.
For the beginning bird watcher, a great bird book to have is the Stokes Bird Feeder Book. This book is very useful when planning out your bird feeder collection for the upcoming year. It gives you imformative information on the various types of bird feeders available, what types of bird feeder shapes to start out with, and great pictures of both the female and male birds to help you identify the birds in your yard. It also comes with a bird journal that is perfect for writing down the types of birds that visit you and the type of seed and feeder that they like.
In addition to these books, the Quick & Easy Attracting & Feeding Wild Birds, is perfect for the on-the-go bird watcher. This quick read helps you to identify a number of birds that are the most commonly seen birds in North America. It gives you tips on the types of plantings that are great for attracting birds and the type of seed that you should use. With this easy-to-read book, you will become an expert in no time.Â
