The birds are grouped into two large groups: those who frequent feeders and those who will nest in birdhouses. Smaller subgroups within these two categories are: grosbeaks, buntings, hummingbirds, etc. Illustrations of birds are drawn life-sized. Maps of North American summer range for each bird are provided. The information is provided in narrative form instead of bullets or boxes. I wish this book had references listed so that I could know where the author got her information. I have read that it is not good to feed birds (or any other wild animals) and that birds (and all wild animals) should be allowed to forage for their own natural food sources on their own. This conflicts with the author's advice about feeding birds. I think the information in this book would have been more easily accessible if it were bulleted and placed in a sequential order, like in other field guides I have seen.

Fortunately plenty of mentions are made of things that are in flux, and the reasons why, so readers can be open-minded when they see a newer guide that contradicts this one. Unfortunately, this is dated, and a serious reader does want to seek a newer book. Habitat ranges definitely change, for a lot of reasons. Clearing the forests helps some birds, hurts others. Northern orioles are separated out again into Bullock's and Baltimore. Indigo and Lazuli buntings are considered separate species but do interbreed where their ranges overlap.
There are also special aids to identification. Eastern phoebes can be recognized by their tail-wagging habit. Scarlet tanager males molt after nesting season, becoming first patchwork red and olive, then all olive like the females.
Etc. Rich resource; recommended to all, not just the 9-12 year-olds it's aimed at. ( )
