Good book to have for tips on attracting birds and general knowledge about their likes and dislikes. I wish it had more color pictures that were scattered throughout the book but that would probably increase the cost which is currently resonable.

This book is for all levels of back yard birders. There is a lot of information between the covers. Birds and the type of feeders used was important information. I liked the illustrations ; they complemented the text. The only food and feeder not mentioned was bark butter and its unique feeder. That can be purchased from Wild Birds Unlimited.

I received a mailing about this book and was very interested except for the high cost. I went to Amazon.com and for about one quarter of the price, ordered from them. The book is very attractive and with much worthwhile informtion. I have only been birding for about two years but found the information very helpful and understandable. It adds to my Shipley reference library with new information for the backyard birder.
