How to Identify Birds: Books for a Rainy Day

 
 

Your plans were to go out to your favorite hot-spot, but the weather is not cooperating. What to do now? Well, maybe you can’t go birding but there are some great books to read until the weather breaks.

What kind of books are out there on birding?

You do have a lot of choices in what to read on a bad-weather day. Perhaps you want to hear about someone’s adventures (birding narratives), stories related to birding (mysteries and such), or just learn something new about birds themselves. I’ve read quite a few books in my time, and will recommend some here, while I have many others on my want-to-read list. Whether you want to check them out from the library, browse and the bookstore or listen to an audiobook, let me provide some titles for you to investigate.
