This is a very different book from what I expected, less of a handbook and more of a comprehensive identification text on 24 groups of birds, presented in words and photographs. These are bird groups that have been covered extensively by other guides. Armistead and Brian L. It is an intriguing choice of species.

It actually makes a lot of sense, the geographic features of the isthmus between North America (including Mexico, because Mexico is part of North America) and South America cut across political lines, as do birds. It is the first bird field guide to every country of Central America (plus the islands governed by those countries).

In the non-breeding season, male Baya Weavers sometimes enter the basket-making trade, often with considerable success. Meanwhile, the females seem to have a much more relaxing life, at least in this early stage of the breeding season. It very effectively forms a small foraging group in this manner. You can see why here.

The Dry Tortugas National Park is located some 70 miles off of Key West in a small group of keys that makes up the farthest points included in the state of Florida, so it was no surprise that we had a four hour boat ride ahead of us before landing in the park. Banding is best done in teams split into three, potentially four groups.

Composite group photographs and brief text descriptions present the core information, the species accounts. Size is not always given, probably because it is often difficult to determine size at sea.

With their strong flight and capability to disperse, parrots have managed to colonize almost every major island group from Tahiti to Mauritius to Dominica. In my experience, parrots form a visibly and numerically important component of the Brazilian bird fauna. There seems to be a parrot for almost any ecological situation.

What are the best field guides for birds in North America? Many birders keep personal birding lists or life lists, documenting the species they have seen throughout their birding experiences. Encountering a spark bird is a transformative experience for many birders. What is a “nemesis bird” in birding?

Splits were once a much more subjective determination, based on differences in appearance, vocalizations, habits, and breeding preferences. I continue to hope that history will someday repeat itself with the House Wren group. Now, splits are more likely to result from objective genetic studies. But, so far, the split has not occurred.
