Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Bird Book
Good book, has a lot of useful information and tips on how to attact birds to your home feeders. Could be a bit more expansive, but pictures are great. All-in-all a helpful book. Won't know until spring whether the tips to attract the birds works or not.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good Book, Slightly Misleading Title
This book is subtitled "The complete guide to attracting, identifying, and understanding your feeder birds." While it is good at the "indentifying" and "understanding" parts, it leaves something to be desired in the "attracting" department. I had hoped for a book that would tell me what has a good chance of drawing specific birds, but except for hummingbirds, it really doesn't go into detail about the topic.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Stokes BirdFeeder
You just can't go wrong with this one! For the home user, it really gives you a good amount of information with clear pictures.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not stoked on Stokes
Disappointing. I was expecting an Audubon-style reference book, but got a simpler, very brief, nothing new, thin, magazine-sized tickler. I've heard good things about Stokes, but this book wasn't a winner. Was looking for more details about plantlife, positioning of shrubs, feeders, bird baths, landscaping etc, but book consisted more of bios on birds with a little bird-feeding info. at the beginning of the book. Save your money and go elsewhere. :-(



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good Book For a Beginner
As a complete novice to birding and gardening, I found this book a helpful starting point. It does not identify many species, but did help me recognize most of the birds coming to my newly purchased feeders. It contains only the most common birds, the Tufted Titmouse, Cardinals, Black-capped and Carolina Chickadees, etc.

It also contained helpful information as to what common birds favor what types of feeders and provided information on some bird behavior and how to buy binoculars. ... Read More
