The Little Book of Birding - Hardcover
Spectacular full-color photographs with startling clarity uniquely capture the allure of birding. As much about birders as birds themselves, The Little Book of Birding is a joyous celebration of our feathered friends and the folds who follow them. Close-ups of winged creatures, from a fat white-tailed ptarmigan to an inquisitive bluebird and elegant snow geese in flight, are complemented by photographer Harrison's delightful commentary on this popular hobby. This gem of a book shares the wonder of a birder--armed solely with telescope or camera--observing their subjects in their natural settings, and will be enjoyed by novice and professional alike.

Review:
Like the Little Book of Flyfishing, The Little Book of Birding is a fine complement to a very small coffee table. While there are few birdwatching tips--in fact, sparse text at all--the color photos are often memorable (to birders, at least) and the overall tone is as amiable as can be. Inside, you'll find funny-looking screech owls, a pair of bright cardinals in a snowstorm, a catbird taking a bath--not to mention the birdwatchers, bundled up in winter, studying their field guides, straining upward to catch a glimpse of tree-top warblers.
