Pu blishing papers, articles, and books on birds aside, Clive is also a keen bird photographer. Griffon Vultures have a long breeding season. Isn’t it a bit late to breed?

She has a new book out (which I am reading right now) called One Good Dog. My second favorite rescue story is that of Hunter, a beagle-ish dog that my daughter and son-in-law adopted from a shelter in Massachusetts. Turns out even though they knew that Hunter had found his forever home, he didn’t know it.

Joseph Chiera is a Masters student in Animal Behavior and Conservation at Hunter College in NYC and a “somewhat newbie” to birding. Even though I picked up several books along the way, I always returned to this guide for its detailed descriptions and drawings in order to compare its information with other sources.

The opening beautifully encapsulates the essence of the book. The book, like the opening scene, is a deft combination of her personal observations of birds most of us rarely see, in a wild place very few people have visited, and of the natural histories of these birds. Do I need to say anything more? And, this was badly needed.

For my new book, due out in 2012 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, I’ve been researching sandhill crane hunting. Nationwide, wildlife watchers now outspend hunters 6 to 1. I’ve received letters and emails from a number of avid hunters who find the concept of shooting cranes repugnant.

So, one might surmise, it’s OK if they get shot by hunters thinking they’re sandhill cranes? Another 170 are in captivity, many of them breeding stock for reintroduction efforts. What could motivate gunmen (I cannot call them hunters) in two states to deliberately kill North America’s tallest and most critically endangered bird?

On our first morning after breakfast, my group and the teens piled onto a boat and headed out to Eastern Egg Rock, once again the breeding ground for Atlantic Puffins (as well as a host of other seabirds) thanks to biologist Dr. Stephen Kress. What’s it called when birds return to the same nesting spot?”

Here’s hoping this bird makes it back to its home turf to breed and comes back to spend another winter in New York State! He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy, their son, Desmond Shearwater, and their two indoor cats, Hunter and B.B. Shouldn’t you be reading a book instead? I disapprove.

Back home I meticulously planned the perfect birding route based on our explorations, made the bookings and confirmed the first commercial birding tour to Ghana. Here local hunters had known about the colony and for generations had been harvesting the birds by simply picking the adults off their nests during the breeding season.

The Crossley ID Guide: Waterfowl , by Richard Crossley, Paul Baicich, and Jessie Barry is the fourth book in the Crossley ID Guide series, and I think it is the best one yet. Answers are given at the back of the book, thank goodness. It also contains a unique feature that may not be accepted by some birders. But, more on that later. .
