Birding for beginners : a comprehensive introduction to the art of birdwatching by Sheila Buff [QL677.5 .B793 2010] shelved at the Marietta campus.

Whether you're traveling to an exotic bird habitat or just interested in better appreciating the avian wonders in your own backyard, Sheila Buff helps novice birdwatchers get the most out of the popular pastime of birding. Starting with where and how to find birds to identify, Birding for Beginners offers an engaging explanation of the basics-- the jargon used, the equipment needed, how to use a field guide, how to create and maintain lists, how to plan a trip into the field, etc. And, of course, the brightly illustrated pages are chock-full of detailed identification techniques, both visual and aural.[more...]

Though this title is at the Marietta campus, we move books from campus to campus through the courier system. Ask your campus librarian to have the title sent to your campus- just in time for a cool autumn afternoon spent watching the birds.
