2021 Books for Birders – A Holiday Gift Guide

Looking for something to get for the birdwatcher in your life? You can never go wrong with a good bird book. Here are a few suggestions.

Disclosure: I get a small commission for purchases made through links in this post.

 

Every bird in the world in one book

The Complete Birds of the World: Every Species Illustrated
All the Birds of the World

Any birder would love to have one of these tomes on their shelf, as they’re the only books that have all of the world’s birds in one volume. Those who do a lot of birding around the globe would get more use out of the more expensive All the Birds of the World. But The Complete Birds of the World is a great way to simply browse through all the birds there are to see.

 

Field guides

Birds of Colombia
The Crossley ID Guide: Western Birds
