Product Info Reviews

Description:

It is estimated that more than 63 million Americans feed wild birds and spend more than 2 billion dollars a year on birdseed, feeders, and other equipment. Habitat loss is a critical issue for wildlife everywhere, and for birds in particular human help may become (or already be) critical to the survival of some species. Mathew Tekulsky provides information on bird biology, calls, and geographic ranges to help identify birds in your area. He explains how to plan and plant a bird-friendly garden, recipes for birdseed mixtures and nectars, ways to provide year-round water for birds, placement of bird houses, and even advice on photographing birds that visit your birdfeeder.

Tekulsky writes of his delight and awe of birds, "All these experiences connect me with the rhythms of the natural world, and if you start a backyard bird garden of your own, you, too, will enjoy all the benefits of having the birds around you." This is a charming small book for bird lovers with lovely drawings and a useful index. --Mark A. Hetts
