Synopsis

Pete Dunne has taught birding to beginners for years, but he has never found the right book to help them get started. Now the popular birding author identifies the skills and tools available to people with any amount of interest, great or small, in bird watching. Beginning with backyard birding and moving through a quick but comprehensive survey of tools of the trade, Dunne outlines ten basic, simple steps in bird identification that can make a birder out of the most casual of observers. He goes on to show beginning birders how to use their skills to explore new horizons through birding by ear, birding by telescope, and finding and identifying rare or difficult birds. Written in the lively, authoritative style that has made Dunne one of the most popular writers in this field today, Pete Dunne on Bird Watching will inspire in readers both a growing passion for birding and a lifelong respect for the natural world and its inhabitants.

Revue de presse

"A superlative introduction to bird-watching. . . this excellent little guide is made to order for beginners, yet older birding hands will also find much in it that is useful. Highly recommended." Library Journal Starred

"A literate and exhaustive beginner's manual. . . provides valuable information that would take years of in-the-field effort to obtain." Publishers Weekly

"Pete is arguably North America's best and best-known birder, and he's also a terrific writer. If you've never had a chance to bird with Pete, this is the next best thing. It's like picking his brain on the topics he knows best - optics, field guides, birding tours, birding etiquette, birding by ear, and much more." - Scott Shalaway, syndicated nature columnist

"Demystifies birding." - Audubon Naturalist News

"If you want to expand your interest in birds, Dunne can help. His book makes all other birding books more useful." Minneapolis Star-Tribune
