Review: Find More Birds

 Find More Birds: 111 Surprising Ways to Spot Birds Wherever You Are
Heather Wolf

What a great and amusing way to present some valuable birdwatching tips!  Broken into three or more sections, she starts with basics, then proceeds to offer tips on "finding birds at their favorite restaurants," "...by the clues they leave," "using tech support," and so on.

Some clue are very obvious--to a bird watcher--but others are great reminders of things we sometimes forget to do or never even thought of.  For me, a few that were unexpected were "search for an open patch after a snowfall" or "creep up on cattails" or "check out dusty spots for dust baths."

Absolutely recommended for all bird enjoyers. Any tips you don't need, just skip 'em. But you'll probably find yourself reading them anyway--I did. There's just too much information you might be missing.
