The Bird Feeder Book, a review

by

The first book I purchased about bird feeding was Stokes Birdfeeder Book : The Complete Guide to Attracting, Identifying, and Understanding Your Feeder Birds by Donald and Lillian Stokes. I purchased it for 50 cents from a book sale at the library, but it has remained one of my favorites. It is short, written in a very conversational manner and contains a wealth of information for the new backyard birder.

It has the practical information that I was looking for when I first decided to set up our feeders, including a basic description of feeder types and the seed preferences of the birds I was most likely to attract. It goes over the basics of bird identification, and it was from this book that I learned to not reach for my field guide first upon encountering an unfamiliar bird. It also has a lot of basic information about the life stages of birds and the different behaviors you might notice.

Stokes Birdfeeder Bookhas everything you need to get started, and enough information to pique your interest for more.
