Comment: bird.

Because I am a bird person and don't want to miss anything, I subscribe to several periodicals about the subject of wild birds. BIRDER'S WORLD strikes me, a mere layperson, as a somewhat more scientifically-based journal (though not off-putting) concerned with conservation. For example, in the June 2005 issue includes articles discussing migration paths throughout North America as well as articles about observation in different ecological preserves are topics, as well as a lengthy article about "Big Day" activities when birders all over North America count birds in an annual inventory. In the current issue, California species such as the Magpie and Scrub-Jay are the covered in an article about bird-watching locales on the West coast, as well as where to go in Texas to see the Golden-cheeked Warbler and the Black-capped Vireo. Next month, the focus may be bird sites in the East or Midwest.

Regular features include columns by Pete Dunne who is an officer in his local chapter of the Audubon Society as well as director of the Cape May Bird Observatory; Jill Graves, who is supervisor of avian research at Michigan's Rouge River Bird Observatory; and Eldon Greiji, emeritus professor of biology at Hope College in Holland Michigan. I especially enjoyed an article this issue on how to ID orioles, a famous bird in these parts by photographer Brian Small who apparently hails from the West Coast, but managed to find a number of our local visitors with his camera.

Summary: Great Magazine!!!
Comment: I have been subscribing to BW for almost 3 yrs now and have loved every issue. They always strive to keep up with the seasons, i.e. migrations, plumages and nesting... I keep every issue I receive because they are really good reference materials.

I completely suggest this magazine to anyone who is a birdwatcher or just loves birds in general!!!
