Thanks, Chuck,
I will review those at my local bookstore. I really like what I have now; I have three and the easiest one to use is " A Field Guide to Identification, Birds of North America, Golden Press-New York, Western Publishing Company, Racine, Wisconsin". Western Publishing, well known for
The Little Golden Books, beloved for over fifty years by parents of small children, fell on hard times a few years back -- I don't know if they have survived. You have given me two good ideas.
I'm still puzzling over my LBJ. I wish I had more showing the wing(s) and back. Coloring, what I can see, makes me think of
female Evening Grosbeak (Wisconsin is right in the range) but the bill in my shot looks a bit skinny and I was expecting a larger bird. This one at my feeder is about the same size as the nuthatch.
Thank you very much for your usual good help.
Rusty
