Book Reviews of Sibley's Birding Basics
Book Review: The best introduction I've seen
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best instruction I've ever seen, printed or otherwise, on learning how to bird. It includes not only basic visual identification skills, but also the basics of how to bird by sound. Sibley teaches the feather groups and anatomy, plumage variations, molting patterns, and effects of lighting that make some indentifications so difficult. I would recommend it to any aspiring birder.Book Review: Sibley's Birding Basics
Summary: 4 Stars
This title was bought as a companion to Sibley's Field Guide to Western Birds. It was suggested when I ordered the Field Guide. It offers many different aspects for learning to identify birds and is helpful when trying to determine differences between look-alike birds. Serves as a useful reference for improving how to observe birds and the importance of their surroundings.Book Review: Fantastic book
