Birdwatching is a popular pastime for people of all ages. You don’t have to travel far to find a variety of birds—if you know what to look for. Birding for Beginners opens the world of birding to the novice in this complete guide to getting the most out of this enjoyable activity.

Uniquely arranged to suit the needs of those new to birdwatching, this guide begins with information on how to find birds and includes tips on birding online, as well as chapters on equipment, identification techniques, birding “by ear,” using field guides, optics, and other essentials to help get you quickly into the field to identify birds. Especially valuable is the information on bird behaviors such as feeding, flight, courting and breeding, nesting, and migration—so you know not only about what kind of bird you’re watching, but what it is up to as well.
