I have found this chart very helpful, because I have only lived in Tennessee ten weeks. My backyard is so thick with trees that often I'll only see a flash of color--I can see a bird's approximate size and its colors, but not its shape or any details. This chart narrows down what kind of bird it might be, and I can then look up the bird in my bird books and look to see if I have the correct bird once I get another glimpse of it. It can't really be used alone, as it doesn't give much detail or even a very good picture, and I've seen one or two birds already that aren't in it because they aren't common in the state, but it is very helpful for what it does do.
EXCELLENT SERIES. GOOD FOR FIELD IDENTIFICATION, ALSO GREAT FOR ARTISTS WHO WISH TO DRAW A SPECIFIC BIRD, OR PAINT ONE, TO GET A LOOK AT AN ACCURATE SPECIMAN. ALSO FOLDED NICELY TO OPEN OUT TO FULL SIZE, VIRTUALLY WEIGHTLESS, AND EASILY PACKABLE.EDUCATIONAL, CONVENIENT, WELL DONE AT A LOW PRICE. IMPERMEABLE TO WATER AND STAINS, PLASTICIZED SO WIPES CLEAN. REALLY GREAT! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
This is a useful guide for identifying common birds in Tennessee. However, it includes only the drawings and sizes. I use mind to hand to friends when I am birding; it keeps them out of my Peterson's and Audubon guides.
This little pamphlet is great for leaving by a window as a quick reference when you see a bird. The pictures are clear and the pamphlet includes a good representation of birds of each category. We also purchased a larger bird book for detailed information. The two complement each other nicely.
