From the author:
"Awarded the American Horticultural Society’s 2023 Book Award, this book covers 100 genera of plants that provide food, shelter, nest materials, or other critical things birds need, many feeding our favorite birds indirectly by supporting the insects the birds need. I emphasize the importance of locally native plants and (thanks to Ali Sheehey!) provide a list of native plant societies for each state and province.

But as Jim “Bones” McCoy might say, “Dammit, Jim, I’m a birder, not a horticulturist!” so this book took well over a year to research and write. I did my level best to make it both as comprehensive as possible for a 256-page book covering the entire continental United States and Canada and as solid an introduction for both beginners in gardening or birding and more experienced gardeners and birders as I possibly could.
**
Although I have spent the past 47 years focused monomaniacally on birds, I should mention that I did take college-level and graduate-level courses in botany, horticulture, entomology, aquatic entomology, and forest and wildlife management, so I was not quite as ignorant going into this project as I may sometimes lead people to believe. From the start, I’ve learned to associate birds with particular habitats, and my antennae have always been raised when I discover any special relationship between a bird and a plant. So this book reflects not just a year of focused research but a lifetime of paying attention to the plants birds need."

From NPU:
We're glad to have another solid book to add to the reference kit! The author has done a bang up job of making highly informative and concise, easy-to-read entries. There are a good many more plants than 100 referenced here, as she covers the genera of plants where possible, not just the species. Sidebars (e.g. last photo) cover common questions and challenges homeowners and property managers face when weighing the pros and cons of various plant genera. What we find unique to this short-entry format, is the focus on the ecological roles and relationships between bird and plant species. It's a great one to add to your library!
