Birds: A Guide to the Most Familiar American Birds (1949)

My daughter says when I get to Heaven it will be full of birds and wildflowers, and I will know all their names. That is why I collect books like this. Zim's book was my first and favorite nature guide. ( )

This is a good intro guide to bird species around the US. I got this book in elementary school at a book fair, and I still use it! Very helpful, with great pictures. Well-organized, easy to use. It doesn't have as extensive a listing as some guides, but would be perfect for the casual backyard birdwatcher. ( )
