My Awesome Field Guide to North American Birds

“It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s My Awesome Field Guide to North American Birds. This hybrid of a book is an intro to birds and bird watching, a mini field guide of common North American birds, and a field notebook all inside one cover. A rare bird of books that is concise, colorful, and sure to be helpful for young birders.” –Michael Elsohn Ross, Yosemite birding guide and author of Plantology and the forthcoming John James Audubon and His World of Birds For Kids
“Mike Graf presents a fine introduction to birds and birding, covering such diverse topics such as binocular use, bird observation, bird identification, avian evolution, and physical structures along with their purpose. I especially like the unique tidbits about each covered species, which I think will draw young readers better than a standard field guide would.” –Wayland (Skip) Augur, bird trip leader and publicity volunteer, Altacal Audubon Society
“Mike Graf’s attention to detail in nature will engage readers of all ages. Vivid graphics and bold vocabulary guide the reader through extensive birding information. Numerous field notebook pages allow space to collect observations and enhance the learning experience. Perfect for budding ornithologists, libraries, homeschool families, and adults!” –Melanie Bowline, school library media specialist, teacher, and blogger
“This wonderful primer for the beginning birder has all the information needed to begin your love affair with our feathered friends. It is an engaging introduction to the whole world of avian adventure, and much more. Having introduced many of all ages to this most rewarding past-time, I wish I had had Mike’s book over the years to present to them. Whether you are reading it comfortably settled in your armchair, or out in the field with binoculars in hand, you will love it!” –Marvey Chapman Mueller, retired eco-tour guide and Snow Goose Festival advisory board member
“We all could use some time outdoors exploring the beauty that birds bring to our world. My Awesome Field Guide to North American Birds will encourage all of us to get outside and learn about the birds we encounter in nature. Enticing bird photos and descriptions will have us identifying all kinds of birds at our backyard feeder in no time.” –Kevin Thomas, wildlife biologist and birding tour leader
