Book Reviews of Sibley's Birding Basics

Book Review: Beginners MUST HAVE Book
Summary: 4 Stars

This is an excellent book for beginner bird watchers. It teaches you how to avoid common mistakes in properly identifying a bird. It also explains the different terms for bird body parts and feathers. It's a short and easy to read book. I ordered Sibley's other book after reading this because there was still a lot I wanted to learn that wasn't covered in this book. The illustrations are incredibly good!
I bought this book on sale at Strand's in NY.

** I went out birdwatching after reading the book and realized that it's actually a GREAT book with very useful and practical information. I want to increase my rating to 5-stars, but can't figure out how.
