[QUOTE="Wolfeye, post: 505410, member: 29166"] If you ever want to get into birding more, I offer one tidbit of advice. Don't get a book with color photographs of the birds. I have a Golden Guide from 1989 that I used in my ornithology class. It has color illustrations instead of photos. With photos you'll tend to look for that *exact* bird, but with illustrations you look for an illustration that closest resembles the bird, because illustrations are not photos of real, living birds. It's hard to explain, but drawings are better. [/QUOTE]
