Enjoyed this book. Includes several tips and experiences from many different birders/bird professionals. All of the essays are well written and easy to read and comprehend. Each essay is short (only a couple pages long) and to the point, so one can read through the book at whatever pace they prefer. I reccomend to anyone who enjoys birding.

A collection of essays from the Who's Who of North American birding. I feel like one of the cool kids for actually having met a few of these people. They wouldn't remember me, of course, but it's still pretty cool.

A decent book of little essays. Got to "steep" a little in birding culture. Nothing thrilling, but learned a little.

I have become an excited birder these last few months. This book is the perfect introduction to the hobby. It is very tongue-in-cheek, at the same time very informative and fun. 50 different essays about every aspect of serious birding from the experts, with several reminders to just have fun!

I received this as a Mother’s Day gift, it was a perfect gift.

Read this for one of the characters I'm writing. Fun illustrations and micro-essays that are accessible and interesting to non-birders like me. Also, there's nothing quite like having an author describe an iPod as if it was an alien device (the book was first published in 2007).
