        5 out of 5 stars The Manual for attracting birds while field birding.......2007-10-01

        First of all "pishing" is making sounds to attract birds or wildlife. The sound has been likened to a distress call or a call note that birds use when identifying a threat. This has the effect of getting many birds of the area to collect around the source of the sound to the benefit of the person trying to spot and identify them.

        I've been birding for 36 years and have been "pishing" for birds almost as long thanks to my mentor and one of Michigan's best birders, Doug McWhirter. Doug taught me how to pish and how to do the screech owl imitation just as Pete Dunne describes it in this book. Since I've done this for so many years I wanted to see if there were any new tricks in the book.

        This is a short book, more like a manual with its' CD (90 pages in a small (6"x*8") size. It is readable and entertaining as anyone familiar with Pete Dunne's writing would know. He throws in lots of humorous examples in with the instructions. The book covers the advent of pishing in birding, the several types of pishing, when to employ the pish and when it will not be productive as well as ethical guidlines to pishing.

        I was interested to learn the "knock down pish" something new to me. Despite excellent instructions I found that I am still not able to do Dunnes squeal and need more practice. I also found verification that grassland birds are hard to pish but may respond more to squeals and chip notes. The CD is very brief but has good examples of the sounds, pitches, and duration that are difficult to explain in type.

        All in all a good little manual to help advance your birding skills

        5 out of 5 stars Wonderful guide!.......2007-08-03

        I've read in several field guides that cetain birds are "pishable", and quite frankly I never quite knew what that meant.

        I got this book and CD just before going on vacation to PA. I knew I'd have the chance to see lots of new birds and several of those were considered pishable.

        On my first day out birding in the Pocono's I tried the basic pish. And Wham! a Tufted Titmouse showed up. I kept pishing and a Black Capped Chickadee arrived. The Chickadee was so interested he flew out and nearly landed on my head. My kids were with me and they were quite impressed (they had been skeptical when we headed out). It was very satisfing to have my kids say "Mom, see if you can pish him out."

        Not only did the birds respond to pishing but squirrels seem quite intrigued by it also.

        This is a great find. I highly recommend it.

        5 out of 5 stars All it needs to be. .......2007-06-11

        This book and CD provides all the needed information in a user friendly manner. One will definitely be an informed and able pisher after one or two reads/listens. The ethics of pishing are also covered, something the birds will appreciate. Finally, it is great fun! It is always good to hear Pete Dunne's voice (I have taken birding walks with him in Cape May). The book definitely improved my birding skills.

        5 out of 5 stars It gets results!.......2007-02-10

        I received this book and went out birding the next day and tried pishing and it worked! The CD is excellent and the book is entertaining as well as informative. It takes practice to learn to do it well but it does get the birds' attention.

        Super book that talks to all the needs of wildlife: Food, water, place to stay. It introduces the idea of creating wildlife habitat then steps through different types of gardens (woods, meadow, water) and then goes into some neat chapters on gardening for birds, butterflies and nightlife (which I esdpecially was interested in since I hadn't seen much of this). This was probably one ofthe first mainstream books to talk to bringing back habitat for wildlife and gardening for wildlife. I see it as a classic, a great foundation that you can build off of. If you're just starting to get your arms around gardening for wildlife this is a terrific place to begin - has more than enough to keep you busy.

        Well If you are a avid gardener like me, you would be naturally attracted to the beautiful, coulourful pictures, perfect for coffee table adornment. The only disappoint ment is it does not help you if you live in the Caribbean, it deals mostly with temperate plants,but otherwise a joy to read.

          A revision of Ortho's best-selling bird book, this edition focuses on how to attract, and how to avoid, specific birds, particularly with seeds and feeders -- for example, suet feeders that starlings can't use. The book features new hints for avoiding problems such as squirrels, window strikes, trouble with neighbors, and cats killing birds.

          Like the earlier edition, this guide for bird lovers shows how to attract dozens of beautiful visitors by creating in your yard the habitat they prefer. Using its specific instructions for attracting over 50 favorite garden birds, you can enjoy exactly the ones you love, without also drawing pest birds. There are instructions for making feeders, birdhouses, and birdbaths for different types of birds -- everything you need to know to make your garden appealing to birds.

          4 out of 5 stars Useful in most respects.......2006-07-02

          Why is it that books like "How to Attract Birds" recommend putting up a separate squirrel feeder to distract those fuzzy-tailed rodents from gobbling up the contents of your bird feeders? All this does is attract more squirrels to your yard, who proceed to devour both the contents of the squirrel feeder and the bird feeders.

          Or in the case of our old house in Detroit, the squirrel feeder on the fence attracted the rats from our neighbor's woodpile, and the squirrels very wisely stuck to the bird feeders.

          Any self-respecting book on attracting birds also has to include information on how to discourage unwanted seed hustlers such as squirrels, chipmunks, starlings, and (in the case of our new home), raccoons, and bears. Authors John Dennis and Michael McKinley do their best in Ortho's "How to Attract Birds," but they tend to emphasize the positive (attracting favorite birds) rather than the negative (discouraging unwanted visitors).

          This 96-page book is divided up into sections on "Birds in the Wild," "Planting for Birds," "Providing Food," "Providing Water," "Providing Housing," and "Attracting Your Favorite Birds." The text is an easy read, and there are lots of color photos and diagrams.

          Be sure to read the inset on page 53, "Protecting Your Guests." There are types of feed that shouldn't be used in the summer, e.g. peanuts and coconut because they can't be digested by nestlings of certain species. You also might want to avoid certain ornamental plants with berries that ferment, intoxicating their feathered diners and causing them to fly "into houses or into oncoming traffic."

          Overall "How to Attract Birds" is a very useful book, even though it doesn't satisfy my quest to build an effective squirrel-proof feeder.

          5 out of 5 stars Best I've seen.......2001-07-31

          The editorial review basically says it all. I'm using the book quite a bit -- I'm trying to attract birds that will eat insect pests. Few other sources have such detailed information about feeding habits, and the information on houses is quite adequate, although you can find birdhouse designs which are much more visually appealing (to humans!) in other books. The one thing I really wish they had done is to put the pests in the index; finding what pests birds like particular to eat requires tedious entry-by-entry searching.

          To encourage butterflies, one can design a garden especially to attract them. For details, try this book. Besides plants, they need water, maybe just a little puddle, and a place to bask in the sun. Another handsome book on the topic is Bird and Butterfly Gardens.
          It is such a treat when a hummingbird hovers just inches away from you. Its tiny wings make a whirring sound and they are such fun to watch.

          4 out of 5 stars Beautiful photography.......2000-04-14

          I've been hunting for a book about common backyard birds which had big, clear pictures, to make it easier for my young kids (5, 3 and 1.5 years) to see the distinguishing characteristics of each bird. The photographs in this book are beautiful! The colors are crisp, details are vivid. Many of the scenes are breathtaking -- birds in flight, feeding their young. The pictures are also large, each occupies an entire page.

          Of course, Harrison includes information on the birds -- descriptions, what they eat, their habitats, how to attract them, etc. The info is at par with the other bird books. The photos make the difference. I highly recommend this for both beginner bird watchers (like my family), and for bird lovers.
