National Wildlife Federation's World of Birds helps readers identify common backyard birds. Details include the size, shape colour and markings of each bird, as well as its habitat, call and behaviour. More than 120 birds from around the world are described. Full-colour pictures, nontechnical language and fascinating facts make this an ideal guide for beginners of any age.
