Review:
This birding guide is meant for adult use, but its colorful
pictures and clear writing make it ideal for kids. The book doesn’t
describe every last bird you might see in Colorado, but it covers all
the ones you are likely to see.
The page on each bird starts with obvious features for identifying it
in the field. The author follows with notes on the bird’s home and
habits, adding interest for kids who are curious about what they are
seeing.
Bring The Guide to Colorado Birds along on hikes or read it at bedtime.
Either way, it makes and excellent reference for young birdwatchers.
