The Burgess Bird Book for Children (Four-color Illustrated

“The Burgess Bird Book for Children,” by renowned naturalist and author of children’s books on wildlife Thornton W. Burgess, successfully blends information and entertainment. “Peter Rabbit,” the main character in “The Burgess Bird Book for Children,” goes around to the various habitats discovering different birds. Peter Rabbit wants especially to know where the nest is, and how many young they have. “Jenny Wren,” a gossipy Miss Know-it-All, is also a main character. Thornton Burgess characterizes Jenny Wren as a bit “snooty,” a fact that will help children remember that good identifier to wrens is their upturned tails. Learn all about birds’ physical appearance, eating patterns, nesting habits, migration patterns, songs and call in this colorful and fascinating book. The intermingling of story and fact, as presented in this classic, is enough to keep children interested while helping them learn much about the birds. In addition to the tales of Peter Rabbit and Jenny Wren, “The Burgess Bird Book for Children” includes fascinating stories about Redwing the Blackbird, Melody the Wood Thrush, Spooky the Screech Owl, Creaker the Purple Grackle, Downy the Woodpecker, and other feathered friends. This newly illustrated edition of “The Burgess Bird Book for Children” includes nearly sixty beautiful four-color pictures of the birds. A few of the pictures are devoted to other characters in the book, such as Peter the Rabbit and Chatterer the Red Squirrel, but the vast majority are good-sized photos of the feathered friends described in “The Burgess Bird Book for Children.”

The Crossley ID Guide: Eastern Birds

This stunningly illustrated book from acclaimed birder and photographer Richard Crossley revolutionizes field guide design by providing the first real-life approach to identification. Whether you are a beginner, expert, or anywhere in between, The Crossley ID Guide will vastly improve your ability to identify birds.

Unlike other guides, which provide isolated individual photographs or illustrations, this is the first book to feature large, lifelike scenes for each species. These scenes–640 in all–are composed from more than 10,000 of the author’s images showing birds in a wide range of views–near and far, from different angles, in various plumages and behaviors, including flight, and in the habitat in which they live. These beautiful compositions show how a bird’s appearance changes with distance, and give equal emphasis to characteristics experts use to identify birds: size, structure and shape, behavior, probability, and color. This is the first book to convey all of these features visually–in a single image–and to reinforce them with accurate, concise text. Each scene provides a wealth of detailed visual information that invites and rewards careful study, but the most important identification features can be grasped instantly by anyone.

By making identification easier, more accurate, and more fun than ever before, The Crossley ID Guide will completely redefine how its users look at birds. Essential for all birders, it also promises to make new birders of many people who have despaired of using traditional guides.
