Smithsonian Kids' Field Guides:
BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA
Author: Jo S. Kittinger

Perfect for beginners, but comprehensive enough for kids already into birds and birding, these easy-to-follow guides show how to look for birds based on their color, size, shape, song, habitat, and behavior.

Featuring over 140 species of birds pictured in over 1,000 full-color photographs, these guides will help your favorite young naturalist find and identify birds found in their own backyard -- or farther afield! But remember, the most important thing about birding is to have fun, so get out there and spot some feathered friends.

Jointly produced by DK (publishers of the Eyewitness series) and the Smithsonian, these guides, both eastern and western versions, provide clear photo illustrations which point out important features in identification of common species. Information on the home, songs and food of each bird is also given to aid in identification.

Although created for children, these books are enjoyed by adults as well.
