It’s relatively easy to classify birds into family groups based on physical characteristics. We view them as our enemies when they eat our crops and as an extension of our family when we see them at our feeders. Jonathan Elphick and John Fanshawe provided “specialist research” and support.”

Here are three excellent but very different children’s books I enjoyed this year (two were published in 2013, one in 2011).

Instead, we get references and quotes from Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink , the popular science book that takes bits and pieces from various research projects to make the case that we make choices without consciously thinking. Gladwell is a good read, but not credible scientific support. There Is No Left Brain/Right Brain Divide by Stephen M.

It’s the bird family that most people don’t know is a bird family. I didn’t know much about Birds of Paradise either before 2013, when I accompanied a non-birding friend to a presentation at a local college, not really expecting much. Like Antpittas and Gnateaters by Harold F. Introduction.

The taxonomy may have changed a bit since the guide was published in 2013, but the warblers are still the same, giving us extreme joy while driving us crazy as we try to identify them high in the canopy or zipping amongst lower branches.

Mack tells the story of how he set up a research station, and a life, in Papua New Guinea.

The family has about 37 species, but that includes several fulvettas – only 21 of the species have “parrotbill” in their names (and frankly, the bills of fulvettas do not look like those of parrots at all). A paper on breeding of the species was actually researched right here at Wawushan.

Masked Lapwing is a very easy bird to identify, so there is a question about how the Compact Guide works in the field when trying to identify trickier birds, like Honeyeaters, a family totally new to many North American birders.
