Summary: Who Knew Birds Were So Interesting?
Comment: This magazine has been very informative and enjoyable for our family of bird watchers. The articles are usually educational or humorous, or both! Excellent photography. Topics might include not only birds but equipment for bird watching, awesome places to see specific birds and when, environmental issues or "laugh-out-loud" bird watching experiences. For the thinking bird watcher as well as the backyard bird feeder enthusiast. Try it!

Summary: A keeper........
Comment: When I cancel everything else, this will be the bird magazine I keep. BIRD WATCHERS DIGEST is the publication to read if you want the low-down on your favorite bird. For example, I am partial to house wrens, and what do I discover in the July/August BWD, but that my little buddy may be wrecking havoc on his much larger neighbors. Well too bad, the Wren eats his share of insects everyday, keeping my organic garden relatively pest free, so I can't complain.
The Wren (Troglodytes aedon) article is comprehensive, even showing a range map with summer, winter and year round habitat. Topics include "What to look and listen for"; "When and Where to Look"; "Feeding Behavior"; "Courtship and Nesting Behavior" a second article "House Wren: The Dark Side" discusses the purported misbehavior of the Wren. Both articles are filled with informative photos, including shots of the baby Wrens in their nest.
I discovered BWD through my old boss who is a "bow and arrow" hunter, who spends long hours sitting in trees waiting for deer. While he waits he observes the birds around him and he says BWD has helped him to while away the hours, not only by teaching him how to identify the birds but to understand their nature. (He once fell out of his tree and broke his leg. He hobbled around for a month after a month in traction. No, he wasn't reading his magazine, he was trying to get a better view of a bird!!)
The July/August issue includes a "Identify Yourself" section covers "Shore Birds" just in time for our annual human pilgrimage to the sea.

Summary: From the novice to the advanced lister; should appeal to all
Comment: This is one of the few magazines I read from cover-to-cover. Bird Watcher's Digest has something for everyone. They offer advice on how to improve feeder systems for individuals who enjoy backyard birdwatching. They provide informative identification tips for those trickier species for people who have just begun their journey into the feathered realm. Additionally, they have great authors & astounding birders, like Kenn Kauffman (who's both), who regularly write short articles for them. These should appeal to everyone at whatever experience level. The size of the magazine makes it easy to tote into the field so you can pull it out & read while waiting for that elusive rarity to show up for you to get a quick glimpse of before it dashes off to parts unknown again. I highly recommend this magazine. Besides, you can't be in the field all of the time & this makes the perfect thing to read on those cold, wet, rainy days when even the birds are smart enough to stay in-doors.
