The Kids’ Guide to Birds of Washington Has Arrived!
Stan Tekiela’s famous Birds of Washington Field Guide has delighted bird-watchers for many years. Now, the award-winning author has written The Kids’ Guide to Birds of Washington, the perfect bird identification guide for children and grandchildren!
The Kids’ Guide to Birds of Washington is a fun, easy-to-use guide for anyone interested in seeing and identifying birds. As a child, Stan spent hours watching birds come to a wooden feeder that his father built in the family’s backyard. As the only ones in the neighborhood who fed the birds, the Tekielas became known as the “nature family.”
Now, more people feed birds in their backyards than those who go hunting or fishing combined. Not only has it become very popular to feed and watch birds, but young and old alike are also identifying them and learning more about them.
Washington is a fantastic state to see all sorts of birds. In fact, more than 500 species are found regularly! That makes the state one of the top places to watch an incredible variety of birds. In this field guide for Washington, Stan is featuring 88 of the most common of these great species.
Fun bonus activities for the whole family, like building a birdhouse and preparing your own bird food, make this the perfect introduction to bird identification for a new generation in the Evergreen State!
Inside, readers will find:
- 88 of the most common and important Washington birds to know
- Species organized by color for quick-and-easy identification
- Full-color photographs and a full page of information for each bird
- Field marks, favorite hangouts, range maps, Stan’s cool facts, and more
