DESCRIPTION:
"Great Buy - Very Useful" according to FootyPhotog. Very good book. I live on the Olympic Peninsula and use this book all the time to identify birds and have found this book to be a great resource and very usable to identify different birds I encounter.. My go-to-guide for Western Washington Beartooth 1. I'm not sure why most of the guidebooks on the market today are 5x7" or 6x9" (or even bigger, gasp!) as none of my clothes have pockets even close to being able to handle them. This book fits comfortably even in myjeans or raincoat pocket, which makes it easy to take just about anywhere. And the cover and binding is thick and rugged, and has held up to some fairly thorough abuse.2. I love the fact that there's one bird per 2-page layout with a detailed, full-page, full color photo on the left (some . Great Book This has been a nice little book to have to figure out the duck and bird breeds I often see around Lake Washington. Once or twice, I wasn't able to find a breed, but a pocket book can't include variety that might visit the area. I would recommend it, but tell people that they may eventually want a second book to cover what this one doesn't. Over all, it's a great book and the size makes it easy to carry around.
