Reviews

"This is a fine guide and I certainly would not be without it if I lived in North America."--Humphrey Q. P. Crick, British Birds "I was happy to see the best source on the subject reissued... [It] gives you non-intrusive entry into the breeding world of birds, a most interesting place."--Jim Williams, Star Tribune "An essential companion to students of breeding biology is Nests, Eggs, and Nestlings of North American Birds, by Paul J. Baicich and Colin J.O. Harrison. The book covers 670 species that breed from the Arctic to the Mexico border."--Birder's World "If you are into studying or searching for bird nests and identifying the occupants, this guide provides a wealth of details...This is a great reference text."--Robert E. Hoopes, Wildlife Activist "This work is the current authority on identifying basic bird nidification, as nest making is termed."--Library Journal
