All About Backyard Birds builds on the huge success of the Cornell Lab's renowned website to translate and deliver best-in-class content and proven user-friendly formats into print. Eastern/Central North America and Western North America versions each provide 120 of the most popular species in each region, filled with beautiful hand illustrations by Pedro Fernandes, charts and maps, and other easy tools that make All About Backyard Birds more approachable than other birding books to beginner and novice birders. It includes a download and tutorial of MERLIN®, an interactive GPS-based bird identification multimedia App, available on iTunes and Android stores, plus the new downloadable Bird QR book companion app to tap-to-listen to birds and learn more about special topics throughout the book.
