Pete Dunne on Bird Watching

Fine used paperback. Previous owner's blind stamp on title page.

Pete Dunne identifies the skills and tools available to people with any amount of interest, great or small, in bird watching. Beginning with backyard birding and moving through a quick but comprehensive survey of tools of the trade, Dunne outlines ten basic, simple steps in bird identification that can make a birder out of the most casual of observers. He goes on to show how to explore new horizons through birding by ear, birding by telescope, and finding and identifying rare or difficult birds. Dunne will inspire in readers both a growing passion for birding and a lifelong respect for the natural world and its inhabitants.
