Purchase options and add-ons

Featuring as many as 175 birds apiece and nearly 300 photographs, illustrations and maps, this handy, informative book adds two Pacific Northwestern states to National Geographic's growing series of field guides. Like its predecessors, this guide provides birders with quick and easy access to the kind of specific facts and savvy advice that they need: a regional map of birding hotspots; a knowledgeable introduction by a local expert on which birds to look for, where to find them, and what to focus on when they appear; a section on birding basics, field identification, and how to make the best use of the guide and its resources; scores of individual entries with photographs of each bird, recognition tips, and notes on behavior, habitat, and particular sites; and two indexes: one color-coded, the other alphabetical with life list boxes. An ideal solution for visitors looking to make the most of limited time and a valuable reference for anyone who lives in the region, these books belong in every birder's library, beginner and veteran alike.


Washington & Oregon: a diverse mix of coastal, mountain, forest, and plains species make the Northwest a birder's paradise whose avian highlights include the elusive Blue Grouse, the colorful, shore-dwelling Rhinoceros Auklet, the dramatic and powerful Canada Goose, and the Tufted Puffin, among many others.

This book is small enough to fit easily into my case with my binoculars and my camera, yet comprehensive enough to help me identify many birds. The photographs are exceptionally clear and detailed.

This book by National Geography, Birds, is just what I needed. I was having trouble identifying the birds that would visit my bird feeders. This book is very easy to use and now I can explain to my brother what birds are feeding at my house in Oregon.

So... how are we to identify females of all these species. The book has loads of wonderful photos and a lot of information, but I want to be able to identify both sexes. Returning.

4.0 out of 5 stars guide d'initiation très bien conçu et illustré
Reviewed in France on January 4, 2017
Verified Purchase
livret anglophone broché à couverture souple micro format ancien (2006) décrivant 186 espèces courantes des deux états côtiers du nord-ouest des USA:
après une carte double page du Washington et de l'Oregon montant les parcs nationaux et les cours d'eau et certaines généralités sur les oiseaux,
chacune des espèces sélectionnées est décrite par une fiche tenant sur une page illustrée en regard d'une photo couleur pleine page (la taille est à l'image de l'ouvrage c'est à dire limitée); une micro carte de distribution adaptée à la zone complète l'iconographie; ce petit guide moderne sera intéressant à mettre dans son sac de voyage en complément d'un guide nord-américain (type Peterson) plus complet si l'on se rend dans cette région
