I love this book! Though, I did write it. When putting it together I made it my goal to make bird watching and identification as beginner friendly as possible. This is a book for everyone! It has very large images with easy to read text that highlights the most important field marks on each species. It also has some fun facts and things that even advanced birders might appreciate. Its a great book for anyone who wants to get into bird watching that also lives on the West Coast.
