Excellent Book! December 27, 2007
This book lists birds by their color and markings so you can find out what kind of bird it is easier. What a great idea!
Incredibly easy to use December 22, 2007
My daughter and I stumbled across a copy of this book at our local library. We couldn't get enough of watching the birds at our bird feeder after that to see how many different varieties we could identify. I bought my daughter a copy of the book last Christmas, and we've been able to identify all of the birds that we've seen so far.
I like how the book is arranged by color and then by size. The colored pseudo-tabs along the edges of the pages make it very easy to flip to the right color. This morning, it took me less than 10 seconds to identify a female rose-breasted grosbeak. My sister was impressed. I'll

This is the greatest bird book-easy to identify birds you see, good info, and very portable-just look under the color of the bird to identify.
so easy... January 23, 2007
my mother in-law brought me this book for my state and I loved it. my daughter lives in kentucky so I got the same one for her. I didn't want to spend a lot of time trying to fiqure out what a bird is when I see it. This book couldn't be easier. you look under the color of the bird you saw and then find the bird. The colors are all indexed. It's a great book for a nonexperienced birdwatcher as myself...
Helpful & informative December 5, 2006

I agree with the first review written by "starmoth". Different from Peterson's Eastern Birds CD, which groups calls by similar sounds, is that the author narrates informative tidbits, which really works. Tekiela does not have a generic narrator voice, and the narrative flows well with the birdsong. The narrative is suprisingly helpful for verbal learners like myself--some of the unusual information Tekiela mentions helps the calls stand out and ties them to the verbal memory area of the brain, strengthening the recall by association of the bird call with the narrative. Because it is narrowed down to the state of Michigan, it provides a good review & selectively reinforces those birds by sound as well as sight. I really like that the CD gives a different "track" to each bird song; it makes it easy to sort out bird calls that I hear in the yard when I cannot see the birds, but have them narrowed down to a few; so it can be used as an aural field guide.
Make sure you get the set! The book is available as a set with a matching CD that comes in a tasteful leather storage binder (the set was also less expensive than the two items individually). I also strongly recommend the field guide Birds of Michigan by Black & Kennedy, which includes migrants and more specific habitat range for the state than I have seen in more comprehensive field guides.
