As a beginning bird watcher, "Bird Watching for Dummies" has been very helpful and informative. There are color illustrations for bird identifications, back yard plans for attracting various song birds, and feeder tips. All bird species are recognized and useful information is provided for each. The author's wit and humor makes reading this book a pleasure.

This is a general guide for beginners to this hobby,but not exactly what I was looking for.It is ok, but probably not worth the time or money, there are lots of better books out there about this hobby.
 Okay but not exactly what I wanted. September 29, 2005
One problem with buying books online is that loss of the chance to flip through and check the contents. Good book, just not exactly what I was looking for.
Informative, fun to read, every birder needs it! May 29, 2001

I have never spent my money on a better book! This book got me into birdwatching and nature. In "Bird Watching for Dummies," Bill Thompson, III introduces you to his passion of observing birds. The book is filled with information and tips on which optics, field guides, bird seed, and books to buy, and very useful tips on how to observe bird behavior, identification, and attracting birds to your yard with food, water, shelter, and plants. If you are thinking about becoming a bird watcher, you must buy this book- if I could give it sixty stars, I would.

I have thoroughly enjoyed Bill Thompson's book. It's rare when you can find a book that is so informational and completely entertaining as well. I love the sensitivity of the drawings throughout. I intend to use this book quite often; in fact I am currently building a bluebird nesting box. Birdwathchers most likely have the stigma of being eggheads, but this book certainly wouldn't lend credence to that (comparing a bluebird's love of worms to Homer Simpson's doughnut cravings is pure delight). Anyone at all interested in our feathered friends would enjoy reading this book.
