Amazon Kindle and Birding
The Amazon Kindle is a great new product that allows you convenient access to loads of information no matter where you are. This is all available in a compact, on-the-go device.

Familiar Birds of Sea and Shore [offsite link]
Put out by the National Audubon Society, you know it has to be good. This is a great, compact book that easily fits into your backpack or pocket or purse.

Field Guide to North American Birds [offsite link]
Field guides are great to have because they´re small and their entire aim is to help you immediately identify a bird you see before you. Every birder should have at least one field guide, and maybe even several - some to keep in the car or by a window.

Garden Bird Facts [offsite link]
Amazon is currently showing this book as only being available from their affiliates, which I find very strange. It´s a pretty good book! It´s laid out very nicely for someone who is "curious about birds" - someone who wants to know things like "why do birds sing" or "how do birds fly" and so on.

Hand-Feeding Backyard Birds [offsite link]
There are some things that make you just stop and stare in amazement. Seeing someone in the middle of a park calmly hand-feeding chickadees is one of those things. Chickadees aren´t tame - they fly away from feeders when you approach! And yet, ANYBODY can learn how to hand-feed these and other birds.

Outwitting Squirrels [offsite link]
There are some books that you just HAVE to have - if only because the topic they´re on is so funny. This is one of those! Not only that, but it actually is handy for birders, in a practical way.

Peterson Field Guides [offsite link]
I have quite a few birding books, ranging from identification to hand feeding to touring various locations. This one is the one that goes with me everywhere, and sits by my window when I´m home. It´s fantastic!

The Bird Feeder Book [offsite link]
The Stokes have put out several books on birds, and definitely know their stuff. It shows in this book, which has just about everything you could ask for.

The Birdwatcher´s Companion [offsite link]
If you´re interested in a subject, there are times that particular concepts or words come up that you simply don´t understand. What is "fossorial"? What is "scansorial"? How do baby birds get out of their shells? What is migration all about?

The Sibley Guide to Birds [offsite link]
I own many, many books on birds and this by far is the most comprehensive and useful. Each bird is shown in several poses, with the map right on the same page, and information on the size, song, movement, and other details

Wings of Mercy - Prayer in Birding
If you´ve got a spiritual bent, and love birding, then Wings of Mercy combines those two passions in a lovely book to read with a cup of tea.
