Thanks. I have a North American bird book but is it so difficult to tell them apart! By the time I take into account the male colours and the female colours, then add the juvenile feathers, the shape of the tail etc, the bird has long gone!

Isn't that the truth. I found, last spring, a good book of backyard birds of western washington. Leaves out all the shorebirds, so it really does just cut to the chase.

The best bird book I have found is by peterson's (spl). They have an eastcoast and west coast version. It show's all of the birds. Even shore birds and ducks.

Thanks. We live on 5 acres that are completely surrounded by woods/a nature preserve. The birds like to land and hang out in our pasture with our horses.
