Well done Beautiful pictures with a lot of info about nesting habits, typical site for species’ nests, broods per year, size of nests, broods, eggs, etc. Fun to just sit & look thru the book. The nests are presented in the order that’s traditional for most bird guides, but it’s not an identity guide for adult birds. Each page does have a sketch of the the adult bird, but the focus is the nest, so you need a separate field guide for bird identity.If I could add anything, it would be a section…
Informative and Attractive This book contains wonderful photos of nests and eggs for birds found in the Eastern part of the US. If you’ve ever found a piece of a bird’s egg on the ground and wondered what kind of bird it came from, this book can certainly help determine that. In addition to the wonderful color photos, there are notes about the various birds and their nesting habits. This is an attractive, informative book that I would recommend to all bird and nature lovers.
Not the Best I try to see the best in everything so here goes. I was disappointed in this book – I was looking for a book that clearly showed nests, ie., what they look like in a tree, etc. All of the very clear photos, with the exception of one, show the nest from the top. The view is lokking in to the nest and all of the nests have eggs in them. It is almost as if the nests are secondary. The accompanying text is descriptive and the photos are good but this book should be called Eastern Birds’ Eggs.
