The dummy speaks

I have thoroughly enjoyed Bill Thompson's book. It's rare when you can find a book that is so informational and completely entertaining as well. I love the sensitivity of the drawings throughout. I intend to use this book quite often; in fact I am currently building a bluebird nesting box. Birdwathchers most likely have the stigma of being eggheads, but this book certainly wouldn't lend credence to that (comparing a bluebird's love of worms to Homer Simpson's doughnut cravings is pure delight). Anyone at all interested in our feathered friends would enjoy reading this book.

Okay but not exactly what I wanted.

One problem with buying books online is that loss of the chance to flip through and check the contents. Good book, just not exactly what I was looking for.

general guide

This is a general guide for beginners to this hobby,but not exactly what I was looking for.It is ok, but probably not worth the time or money, there are lots of better books out there about this hobby.
