Birds of West Virginia Field Guide (Bird Identification Guides)

This guide is hands down the best state specific guide out there. High definition photos, lots of identification descriptions, and a few facts to make each new bird spotting an exciting event. Nice that it’s state specific because you don’t have to thumb through a ton of birds that aren’t in your area.

I lost my old book, and I have so many different kinds of birds coming to my feeders, I wanted to know what they were. Also living in WV best to not have all the birds in America. Very useful.

We live in the beautiful state of West Virginia. I purchased this for my father who loves gazing out the windows and enjoying the view of floral and fauna. This book is perfect for him!

As a quick reference guide this is a good book. Small and compact it is just right for field use. The information is good but on a basic level. The pictures are great and are a strong point of the book. I used it everyday.

I purchased both this book and the accompanying CD. And what a pair! Either is OK without the other, but together they make a fine collection of sights and sounds of birds found in West Virginia, many of which visit back yards regularly. The book is small enough to carry in one's pocket, but the details about each bird is both interesting and informative. The photographs are excellent, including females and juveniles. Children may enjoy the simple presentation with a picture and information on one double page. (One thing I didn't quite understand - some birds have the female appearing in different parts of the book, although if so, the page number of the other is mentioned). I recommend this book for both regular birders, and back yard birders, alike, and I'm sure both will learn something new, and enjoy this book. And, please try the CD too. You will not be disappointed!

As a newcomer to "birding", I was looking for a guide that would help me quickly and accurately identify birds here in my home state. This book definitely was the answer I was looking for! Packed with clear pictures and informative facts about each bird, yet still small enough to carry with me out in the "field". I recommend!

Gift. My mil loved it. Great pictures by colors with lots of good information.

Birds of West Virginia is the perfect guide for the weekend bird watcher. I recently started bird watching and wanted a book that would help me identify them. I looked at several other brands (National Geographic, Audobon Society) but found them to be very cumbersome. This guide is organized by color and has actual pictures which makes it very easy to identify birds quickly. There is a large photograph, a smaller inset of the opposite sex, and on the opposing page, there is a description of the bird's characteristics such as what they eat, their habits, etc. I also love the size. The book is high quality, but is also very compact. I keep it in my handbag and use it all the time. I highly recommend this very useful guide.
