We like all kinds of bird books. The ones that tell stories about people, or endangered species, or Big Years, or getting kids into birding. The ones that are scholarly. And we especially like the ones that are useful in the field. The four books featured here fall into that category. They can lead readers to new places to bird or help readers identify birds in places far and wide. Click “Next” to scroll through the list.
