Grab a front row seat for the sights and sounds of feeding, nesting, and bathing birds right in your backyard using these tips shared by experienced birders. Whether the aim is to attract tiny hummingbirds or large and raucous blue jays, or lay out the welcome mat for temporary visitors stopping in during their seasonal migration, Best-Ever Backyard Birding Tips explains how to play up various landscape features and how to appreciate what happens in the backyard “birdscape.”
The book targets all skill levels, offering new birders a few basics while intriguing longtime birders with new ideas. Here readers will learn:
-why moving water, even a single dripper, will make a difference in which birds visit the yard
-how to plan an entire bird garden that offers food, shelter, and water for bathing and drinking
-what seeds and foods appeal to birds at different times of the season
-how to attract new species of birds no matter which region of the country they live in
-what type of shelter keeps baby birds safe until they are ready to leave the nest
Birders will enjoy reading features such as “Everybody Wins” (birding practices that benefit nature and the environment) and “Budget-Wise Birding” (free or inexpensive ways to feed and attract birds). They’ll also find step-by-step illustrations for installing a water feature, building a simple tray feeder, and converting a craft-style birdhouse into a suitable residence.

Pretty good. This book provides good basic information on many types of birds, and lots of tips for becoming bird-friendly. I have been “birding” for several years now, so I was already informed about much of the information provided. It is a good source for what plants/trees/landscape will attract birds and what each species likes to eat. Be aware that it is mainly “black and white” type (actually blue and white) with very minimal color pictures/photos. Pretty good source, especially for a beginner.
BIRDING TIPS Great book. Very informative. Started to order this from another source and as always checked with Amazon first and found it for a fraction of the cost.
