Book Review: Bird By Bird Gardening
I’ve been checking out Bird-by-Bird Gardening
It also shows several specific garden designs and makes suggestions for improving your existing garden. It’s more of a reference guide than a book you would sit down and read cover to cover.
It is a great beginner book for someone who wants to learn more about creating a habitat in their back yard to attract birds. If you’re already fairly knowledgeable on the subject you may find this book too basic.
The book has some beautiful photos, I just wish it had a few more. Some of the birds they discuss don’t have photos. I’m not always familiar with the names of birds, but may be able to identify them by their photo. I had to look up several bird names in a birding guide just to see what the bird looked like.

Sounds like it would be a good book for as I’m definitely a beginner! We live in the country so we have a lot of birds, but not a lot of variety. I’ll have to check into the book. Thanks!
