Getting to Know the Birds Around You, Coast to Coast

By Joseph Choiniere Claire Mowbray Golding; Illustrated by James Robins; Photographs by Tom Vezo

This colorful guide introduces beginning birders of all ages to the wonders of the avian world. With profiles of 30 North American birds detailing their color, size, habitat, and calls, you’ll quickly learn to identify the birds in your neighborhood. Additional sections on bird anatomy and behavior, ideas for keeping a bird-watching journal, instructions for building a nesting box, and tips for where to find specific species will have you exploring all the joys of birding in no time.

Recommended by the publisher for ages 8-12 years.  We at nest find that this could be suitable as a guide for the whole family, with some information to share with children 8 years and up, but also plenty of information for older children and adults alike.  Birdwatching is an activity that can calm nerves, soothe the soul, and clear the mind - for humans of all ages!
