Country Bird is a beautiful blend of field guide and just plain delight in the varieties of birds out there. Although I was familiar with many of the birds in here, it was fun to get to know a little about them—their feeding habits, their courting habits, how they sing, or a variety of other fascinating topics relating to each bird.
If you’re looking for a traditional field guide, this isn’t it. But if you’re new to birding—or are curious about what birds you’re seeing outside—this could be an excellent companion. With full-page illustrations, whimsical Southernisms or other common sayings, and intriguing descriptions of each bird, you get a feel for what you’re seeing out in your front yard—without being overloaded with facts.
I had a lot of fun reading this lighthearted book. If you’re looking for a gift for a birdwatcher, this could be an excellent choice. I also think it would be popular with younger (and older!) children because of the vibrant illustrations. I hope this series will continue, and eventually include birds from other parts of the world besides the US—this was a delightful way to get to know common birds and some of their peculiar habits!
