Welcome to London Birders

Can someone recommend a good backyard bird identification book for southern Indiana?

My mom has mentioned wanting a bird id book several times; so I thought it might make a good mother's day gift. She has many bird feeders and would like something with good pictures. She's not going hiking in the woods to watch birds so something for just the backyard bird feeder would do nicely. Any help is really appreciated, thanks!

1. Check out the Cornell Lab of Orinthology's website.

They an online guide as well as recommendations for field guides.

2. I like the Audubon fieldguides and the Sibley fieldguides.

3. I suggest Sibleys or National Geographic field guides..both have great pictures and the range maps are located opposite the pictures so there is no flipping back and forth.
