It is not an encyclopedia, though it does summarize research, explain basic concepts, and ends with a section on bird statistics. It is a fascinating book that teaches while it entertains, that offers research-informed arguments for bird protection and conservation in the guise of vibrant design.

I mention these trips because, along with other trips and experiences closer to home, they inform my research into my future birding travel. For example, not much can beat the experience of seeing a Bald Eagle scare up thousands of Snow Geese at Sacramento NWR. Your prior trips will inform your birding travel planning too.

At Sea With the Marine Birds of the Raincoast opens with the unexpected appearance of a Laysan Albatross. We are all suckers for an albatross, at least in the United States. The author, conservation biologist Caroline Fox, is observing the albatross’s shadow to the side of the boat. Do I need to say anything more?

The Desolation Islands are more than 2,000 miles from the nearest permanent human habitation (besides research stations) and can only be reached by a long ship journey. Almost as good as someone finding an aquatic eagle with gills that preys on lanternfish at the bottom of the ocean. Gough Bunting by Ross Wanless.

I also want people to know that our understanding of birds’ mating habits are constantly changing and evolving…there is still a lot of research to be done here, and we will be learning a lot more in the years to come. Aside from geese, various albatross, alcids, eagles, owls, cranes, swans and condors have life partners as well.

Several recent studies have found that tinamous are embedded within the ratites, which means that either they regained the ability to fly or (as many researchers feel is more likely) that flightlessness and large body size arose multiple times within the paleognaths, a topic discussed in detail at Tetrapod Zoology.
