Exactly what I wanted. These cards are well illustrated and point out important features on the front of the card(ie white bill, lines on wings) While keeping the name of the bird on the back. I think Illustrations are easier for learning identification than photographs most of the time. My son is only 5 months old, but as he gets older I want to teach him about the wildlife that live in our area first then expand to the rest of the country and world, if he is interested. These cards will be perfect as they are divided into 3 categories, birds of the east coast, west coast and those that live across the entire country. For those of you who also feel disappointed in a lot of s descriptions There are 100 cards about the size and thickness of regular playing cards. Also my cat usually loses interest in flash cards, but these held her attention for nearly a full minute.
Beautiful set! I struggled to see the item before purchase but wanted to post pics that are on Sibley's site. His work is just magnificent. See photos attached of cards up close.
While these cards are produced on a quality paper and have a beautiful, low-lustre finish to them, the colors are quite lacking and dull. The dullness makes the detail of each bird quite difficult to see and also makes it difficult to read the very small font. The photos I have provided were taken next to a sunny, morning window and show how difficult it is to clearly see the images. Had I been able to view these in person first, I would not have purchased them.
Great flashcards. Very informative cards and the illustrations look really good to. They are color coded so you can easily seperate the cards that aren't found in your part of the country. Probably would have cost $30-$40 in the store. I would recomend this product to anyone interested in learning more about birds.
My son loves birds, and he's proud of knowing the official breed names for some of the species that pop up in our yard. These cards are great. The descriptions are kind of sparse if you're a birder, but it's perfect for the flash card genre.
I wanted help identifying birds and this looked like it would fit the bill. There are lots details on the back side of the cards about the birds - descriptions, size, habitat, call and Latin name. On the front, I like it that both the male and female birds are depicted, in true colors and markings. The downside is that to find a bird, I have to flip through the cards until I find it. I probably should have gotten a book; on the other hand, maybe I'll memorize the birds so well, I won't need a book.
Excellent quality illustrations for birders of all levels and ages. The cards are a unique way to practice recognition without the use of batteries.http://www..com/gp/product/0307888975/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title
This is a great set of cards. It comes in a really nice, attractive box. When I ordered this product, I didn't realize that the box it came in was also going to house the cards permanently and safely... a nice touch! You pull the little ribbon tag to reveal two decks of cards, separated by a built in divider. One deck is comprised of 1/2 common Eastern birds, 1/2 common Western birds. The other deck is comprised of birds found commonly across the continent.The illustrations can't be beat! They're beautiful. The front of the cards feature the wonderful artwork, while the backs of the cards identify the name of the bird, where they can be found, a brief description, and some other very basic information. It's just the right amount of information-not too much that it's overwhelming, but just enough to learn what you need to know. This is ideal for beginners who are still learning, and experienced birders who wish to test their knowledge.Because the birds are identified by name on the back, as opposed to right nearby the illustration (as in a book), learning by site is much easier--as you learn to identify without relying on the name written right by. These will be used in a State Park as an educational tool primarily, but they're very fun to quiz yourself with, too!
