The Young Birder's Guide to Birds of North America

By: Bill Thompson (III)

Published by Houghton Mifflin, 2012

Peterson Field Guides
Covering 300 of the most common birds in all of the United States and Canada, The Young Birder s Guide to Birds of North America is loaded with color photographs, drawings showing typical behaviors, range maps, an easy-to-use checklist, fun facts, and authoritative information about each bird, its vocalizations, and its habitat.
While other field guides might overwhelm kids who are new to birding, The Young Birder s Guide to Birds of North America was created with help from kids. Bill Thompson s own son and daughter and their elementary school classes helped select the content. Kid tested, kid approved!
