A must for any active birder's library. This book, published for the Nature Conservancy, is a delightful series of accounts on various species seen in the state. Most anecdotes were originally written as newspaper columns. Easy reading and full of behavioral tidbits. The detailed county maps show public land and also the remote byways that help you find such hot spots as Secret Lake.
Most active birders have one for the car and one for the house.
Also available for Nebraska.
