"Packed with excellent photos and tips, deeply relatable anecdotes, and a palpable sense of joy, this gem of a book will make you a better birder."—Rosemary Mosco, author of A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching

A gorgeously photographed trove of 111 ingenious tips for seeing more birds wherever you are—from crowd favorites (hummingbirds, owls, eagles) to species you've never spotted before

Seeing more birds than you ever imagined and witnessing exciting avian drama is possible—whether you're on the go or in your own neighborhood, local park, or backyard. As Heather Wolf explains, it all comes down to how you tune in to the show happening around you, the one in which birds—highly skilled at staying under the radar—are the stars. In Find More Birds, Heather shares her very best tactics—and the jaw-dropping photographs they helped her capture.

  • Look for birds at their favorite "restaurants"— from leaf litter to berry bushes, and ball fields to small patches of mud.
  • Watch for "tree bark" that moves . . . you may find it has feathers.
  • Try simply sitting on the ground for a revealing new perspective.
  • Plus, special tips point the way to crowd favorites such as hummingbirds, owls, and eagles—and can't-miss bird behaviors. As your senses sharpen and "noticing" becomes second nature, Find More Birds will turn your daily routines into bird-finding adventures, too. Whether you're strolling down the block or parking your car, you never know what will surprise you next!

        Starred review from June 9, 2023

        In this striking guide, longtime birder Wolf (Birding at the Bridge) shares her extensive knowledge about how to find birds. The book provides 111 unusual but effective and creative ways to bird-watch that readers can implement in their own neighborhoods; there's no need to travel to exotic locations. The author advises readers to, for example, visit a beautified dump, scan airport runways, find fermented berries, and look around cows and horses. The book clearly demonstrates how any daily activity--shopping for groceries, commuting to work, or anything readers might view as mundane--can become an opportunity to observe the fascinating world of birds. The book is divided into 10 chapters, many with fun and unexpected titles such as "Finding Birds at Their Favorite Restaurants" or "Finding Birds Through Tech Support." Wolf's suggestions will enable readers to have more fun while looking for birds, an activity that also offers perks like mindfulness and a sense of gratitude. VERDICT Wolf's humorous writing and the striking color photographs throughout this guide make it a standout. All birders, from novices to the ones who've been observing and identifying birds their whole lives, can benefit from this title.--Dave Pugl
