Since there are plenty of lengthy, detailed reviews already, I will keep this brief!
I've been birding for a while now, I have read many birding books, and I think this one hits most, if not all, of the bases; birds in your backyard, landscaping for feeding, bird nests and eggs, habitat, making your own feeders, as well as DIY seed mixes, suet cakes and doughs, peanut butter pinecones, etc. Best idea I found was the flowerpot seed bell, which can be costly at stores, especially around the holidays. You would not believe how easy and inexpensive they are to make, and I intend to make several as economical gifts for Christmas.
And since I know everyone is wondering - yes, there are effective tips for keeping out squirrels!!
Overall, a very creative offering, packed with original ideas for the DIY backyard birder.
