Well-researched and footnoted, these sections never feel disconnected from the more personal sections. I ended up looking for photographs of Peregrine hack sites, captive breeding aviaries, Hawaii tropical forest, and the California Condors of the Grand Canyon on the Internet. Endangered. Extinction.

For decades researchers have made annual trips out to the Tortugas to catch Sooty Terns, attach tiny silver bands to their legs with unique identification numbers, and then set them free again.

Yes, it’s nice to have information on 817 birds, and it’s wonderful to have full descriptions and photographs of birds commonly seen in Central and South America. I am particularly happy to see that the bird communication section includes recent research on singing female birds. SPECIES ACCOUNTS.
