[Olivia · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is full of good old-fashioned information about birds and bird-watching in Tennessee. There are great illustrations as well as photographs to show various bird types and identifying characteristics. My one complaint is that there weren't even more birds described; for example, the red-tailed hawk is mentioned throughout the book but was not given its own identification page.

An excellent book. Very informative and detailed. I have over 30 species of birds in my back yard and haven't found any, not discussed in this book.
