Rating: - National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America--a review.
This book is first-rate.I tend to favor wildlife books that depict their subjects in paintings and drawings, rather than photos, and this book is rich in mini-masterpieces.I haven't yet gotten into bird-watching, but the book transcends those who use this as a field guide.Now I can sit in the comfort of my den and enjoy all the glory of Nature's bird treasures.Whether one likes to explore on-foot, or by flipping pages in a book, this is one volume in which you can't go wrong!!
