Book Review: The Bird Feeder Book

The Bird Feeder Book by Donald & Lillian Stokes The Stokes have put out several books on birds, and definitely know their stuff. It shows in this book, which has just about everything you could ask for.

One section goes over the different types of feeders, and the various seeds that birds enjoy. Hummingbirds get their own special mention, as do squirrel baffle techniques. There's even a section on bird behavior - what to watch for, what certain things mean.

Then the book goes into the common birds found at backyard feeders. There are lovely photos of each bird, a map showing where they tend to live, how to tell them from other similar birds, how they act, what they eat, and much more.

This is a perfect starter book for someone getting into birding, and it's also a great by-the-window book for even experienced birders who want a quick reference to their common visitors.
