More than just birdhouses. Good information about the birds that use them. Good construction instructions. Looking forward to selecting a house to build after I survey the local wildlife. I am concerned about having a birdhouse with a houseful of curious cats.
PERFECT book for anyone looking to build backyard birdhouses! I got many, many designs for the birds that frequent my yard and cannot wait to begin building!
Absolutely love this book.
Very educational and full of patterns, I will be busy getting ready for springtime! Borrowed from the local library.
I loved this book! Great short summaries of common backyard birds and excellent explanations about what type of house to build for each species.
