[.uk] Birds of the Los Angeles Region (Regional Bird Books) (ISBN 0964081059)

Birds of the Los Angeles Region:
First, I am not a bird watcher. I don't go out of my way to see birds and I'm not enthusiastic about sighting them. I just sit by my window and lately there have been many different birds in my garden. This isn't surprising because it's autumn and they're passing through. I never could find my way around a Petersen guide or other birds books I've seen, but Birds of the Los Angeles Region is organized so I can find what I just saw and the pictures make it recognizable. It also makes it easy to find the birds that will be in my microclimate, not all over Southern California. The descriptions give me all the information I want. Now I know I've had a junco living in the garden for a couple of weeks. I'd heard of juncos, but had no clue about what they were. My favorites were some yellow warblers. I didn't even know there were yellow warblers before this book. It stays on my desk by the window so I don't have to go out of my way to get acquainted with whoever is visiting today. This book has added a small pleasure my life. Whatever brings a small pleasure is a happy gift.

Great new reference:
