Jessica's Reviews > Kid's Field Guide to Birds: 80+ Species Profiles * How to Get Started * Activities and Fun Facts

Daisy Yuhas's Kids' Field Guide to Birds provides an excellent introduction to North American birds and birding. Divided by habitat—for example, urban settings, deserts, and woodlands—the book offers a photograph and other identifying information about common species, including conservation status (THANK YOU!). It also includes fun facts, occasional notes about ecology and conservation, and suggestions for bird-related activities, all of which is interesting and applicable. Used in conjunction with other resources, specifically those that provide more extensive photos of each species at different life stages, this field guide will enhance the birding adventures of kids and adults alike. It will be especially helpful for families (remember to pack it while traveling!), nature educators in conventional- and home-school communities, and naturalists working with mixed-age groups.
