Useful field guides include Roger T. Peterson's Field Guide to the Birds and Birds of North America, A Guide to Field Identification, by Chandler S. Robbins, Bertel Brunn and Herbert S. Zim.

A life history book is helpful and The Audubon Illustrated Handbook of American Birds, by Edgar M. Reilly, Jr., McGraw-Hill, 1968, is an excellent reference book.

Persons wishing to know more about how to attract birds should read Verne Davison's Attracting Birds from the Prairies to the Atlantic, Crowell, 1967, or The Hungry Bird Book by Robert Arbib and Tony Soper, Taplinger, 1971.

Song Birds in Your Garden, by John K. Terres, Crowell, 1953, is another good book on attracting birds. Birds in Our Lives, Arco, 1970, presents the broad story of birds and their relationship to man.
