Birding

Post by annie oakley »

Does anyone have a name of a good birding book? I have so many birds and lots of different hummers and would like to identify them. Love Oma

We like The Sibley Guide to Birds. Since you are a western woman maybe The Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Western North America is better for you. We don't have that one.

Sibley's is definitely the best. We have 2 - one for field birding and one in the house for reference. Tremendous publication. HIghly recommend it above any other guide.

Love, Maggie
