Field Guide to Backyard Birds of the South
From the expert editors at Cool Springs Press, a series of regional bird books that love the outdoors as much as you do.
“Patience is a virtue,” said no backyard bird ever. That’s why, when these busy creatures come flitting into view, you need to have your resources ready at a moment’s notice. Have you spent all this time mistaking the Brown Thrasher for the Wood Thrush? A forgivable error, but with the Field Guide to Backyard Birds of the South, you’ll be distinguishing between streaks and spots in no time. Each book in the series has been conveniently packaged in a field-sized 5”x8” format: large enough to showcase the gorgeous close-up photography within, but small enough to keep dependably at the ready. In this edition, each of the South’s 80 most popular bird species gets its own page, complete with a concise description, preferred habitat, feeding and migration habits, and tips for attracting them to your bird feeders. Illustrated with colorful range maps, vibrant images, and a brilliant tabbed layout that helps you quickly search for birds by color, this portable field book will never again let that elusive Cerulean Warbler out of your watchful skyward gaze.
Southern states include Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
Look for our other four Field Guide to Backyard Birds titles, covering the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and West regions of the United States.

Picked this up at Home Depot by the bird feeder section. Good basic book for figuring out what is outside your window and easy to use for kids and teens. Adults will probably prefer field guide to the birds of North America by National Geographic or one of the National Audobon Society's field guides.
