Praise
"Bird enthusiasts now have a simple, informative text to enhance our enjoyment. Whether we are in the field or reflecting on a favorite bird moment, Sandrock and Prior add another facet to expand our knowledge and increase appreciation for birds in our lives."—Neil P. Bernstein, Mount Mercy University

"In this well-organized guide, Sandrock and Prior provide concise descriptions of the origin of scientific and common names of birds in the Upper Midwest. The authors show clearly how the scientific names are based on the color, body shape, or other characteristics of each species. Moving beyond identification, this book opens a new level of understanding for those who enjoy birds."—James J. Dinsmore, author, A Country So Full of Game
