A lavish introduction describes bird characteristics and behavior, while stunning full-color photographs reveal individual species for easy identification.

Agreeing with another reviewer, the contents are very good but it takes forever to load. Either Google or the publisher also prevents downloading/exporting this particular book from your library, which might have helped to make it faster to read.

I think this is probably a very good book but the ebook version loads incredibly slowly a few pages at a time (indeed it never seems to stop loading which makes it almost useless.) I had a similar problem with another DK book and have never found a solution to the problem.

A lot of birds in this book. Very informative about different species. Kind of slow to load due to very nice illustrations. Best to read the book on a computer or tablet, instead of your phone.
