This is one of our favorite books and perhaps the single most helpful. We can't recommend it highly enough. It contains a wealth of information, all alphabetized by subject. It goes beyond the traditional books on backyard bird feeding, offering information on individual birds, flowers to plant, edible wreaths to make, clever birdbath ideas, feeders and what types to use, seed and what types to feed to which birds and lots more. We look at it often as a resource.
