Coming Soon! Backyard Birds of Puget Sound

February 17, 2020 by Kelly Lenihan

FIELD GUIDE FOR BUDDING BIRDERS

Softcover, $24.99 USD

Of all the animals, our winged friends are the easiest to find and enjoy year-round. To help budding naturalists get started on this exciting hobby, Backyard Birds of Puget Sound is an easy-to-read, fact-filled introduction to 70 of the most common backyard birds — from tiny jewel-colored hummingbirds to large hawks and everything in between — the perfect window into nature. This guide, over 200 pages,  includes beautiful watercolor illustrations of the most frequently observed backyard birds, with notes on sizes and distinguishing markings, morphology, migration and location, habitat, behavior, diet, backyard tips and more.

In the back of the book, you’ll find a glossary, checklist of Washington state birds, and a comprehensive list of helpful resources and information.

AVAILABLE SPRING 2020
