Photographic Guide to the Birds of North America is a field guide designed for the beginner to intermediate level birder and those who want to feed and attract birds in their own backyard. The guide is laid out in a progressive manner. The initial section describes how the guide is structured and can best be used. The second section provides bird identification tips, including tips on using size and behavior as identification aids. The third section is a 75 species mini-guide called the FastFinder. It contains 75 of the most common and wide spread species found in the United States based on the Cornell Lab of Ornithology s Project FeederWatch data. The fourth section is the main part of the guide covering 650 species, including descriptions, photographs and range maps of each species. The appendix includes information on attracting and feeding birds as well as binocular selection and bird photography. The photography is exceptional and even people with just a passive interest in birds will enjoy flipping through the guide.
