Customer Reviews

bird watching
Loved this simple book with pictures and information about OK birds. I love feeding and watching birds.

Not an overall reference, but excellent for its purpose
You could say this publication (not really a "book") is a cow. That's because it is out-standing in the field! :-)
The book is not intended as a guide to learn everything about birds, it is intended as a pocketable reference you can take with you. It fits neatly in my front pants pocket, and is stiff and heavily plasticized so that it will withstand wetness and rough handling. The bird data is very limited--A single side view of each bird species, with the name below. For the price, and for this purpose, I think it is hard to beat. You will want to supplement it with a more complete and bulkier field guide, and hopefully with a large non-field book of information on the life and habits of each species--For that purpose, I recommed Kaufman's LIVES OF NORTH AMERICAN BIRDS or the similar Sibley book.

Minimal detail
This is a pamphlet and in my opinion not worth the money. It will fit in a backpacks for quick identification of birds, but it really stinks for learning more about Oklahoma birds.
