Attracting Birds to Your Backyard by Roth Sally Hardcover Sally Roth 9780739433317 Books

This book is great for those with short attention spans. :)

It's an A to Z format of topics from Acorns to Zinnias. Individual little sections focus on food sources (i.e. acorns, berries, cherries, salvias, suet), common individual backyard birds (bluebirds, cardinals, swallows, etc.), procedures (banding, feeding, first aid), and more. The topics are logical and easy to read and provide lots of little useful tips and tidbits for attracting birds to your yard.

The sections on individual birds generally include getting to know them information and a brief summary of how to attract them as well as some brief information on various types and where they are found.

As an example of the plant sections, the ornamental grasses section gives a short overview of gardening with grasses and best grasses for birds with a chart that includes the plant name, bird attracted, plant description and culture.

The back of the book includes sources, recommended reading, a USDA plant hardiness map and a zone map.

The information is not in-depth (most of the sections are 0.5-1.5 pages long), but it's fun to read and filled with ideas for creating a haven for birds. A few of the more popular sections are given a little more space (water gardens have six pages for instance).

Attracting Birds to Your Backyard by Roth Sally Hardcover Sally Roth 9780739433317 Books Reviews

I LOVE THIS BOOK! It is well written and the author makes me feel like she is speaking to me personally. Very informative and lots of pictures of birds. The author has inspired me to try my hand at building bird houses and bird baths too. This was definitely well worth the money! I rarely write reviews (too busy bird watching, reading, working, etc.) but I felt I had to take the time for this one.
Excellent book loaded with pictures and great ideas even for the experienced bird person!
loved it
One of the best all-around books on attracting birds to your yard. It was my first, and I still look through it, looking for new things to try. Another book I highly recommend is George Adams' "Gardening For the Birds."
This is great stuff. A really enjoyable book on the subject. Makes me feel like I could successfully manage to do this. All of the ideas are well presented and practical.Sally Roth has a great style and a lot of common sense. She's fast becoming my favorite writer on the subject of gardening and, landscaping and nature. I own four books about birds- three of them are written by Sally Roth.
Whether you're a birder or a gardener, or like me, a little of both, you'll love this book! I'm a novice birder and I bought this book hoping to find ideas about feeding and gardening for birds. I found what I was looking for and then some. This book has refreshing ideas, is user-friendly, humorous and practical. You'll learn interesting facts about some of our most common birds, identifying them, attracting them and how to landscape to keep them coming back. This is truly one of the most delightful books I've read this year. In fact, I've purchased additional copies as gifts for family members. It's definitely a book to keep in your library to refer to over-and-over again. It's A-to-Z reference and color illustrations are extremely helpful. Ms. Roth has done a superb job.
I really like the way this author writes clear succinct explanation scattered with vivid personal anecdotes. This is a sturdy oversized trade paperback that will stand up to years of thumbing through it and carrying it outside.

It's stuffed with beautiful color drawings, side-bars, tables, and landscaping plans. The table of contents is a huge, comprehensive list of topics from A to Z, touching upon everything from bird anatomy to different types of feathers to the coloration and shapes of eggs to project lists to attract birds in all four seasons.

If you can have only one general book on birding, I would recommend this one. With its clear writing and all its illustration, it would be suitable for motivated fifth-graders on up. It also covers so many different common birds that it's not limited to just one American region. Highly recommended. Longer review at OrnateBirdGarden-dot-com.
