I had a splendid time reading about some good birds.

I'm only 11 and I already look up to him!!!!!

Different edition though. This was given to my son, and as we have other guides I was going to pass it along, but I just realized that it is quite detailed despite being "a simplified field guide" and small enough not to take up too much room in the glove compartment!

A great introduction to birding. There are so many types out there and if this is a hobby you want to pursue, it’s important to learn the little things such as various characteristics and identifying flight silhouettes.

This, and all Peterson Guides, were extremely important to me in my youth.

My very first birding book! I have such fond memories of Peterson bird guides and this was my very first one.
