Yet they also bring up questions, which I’m going to talk about right now before diving into the specifics of the guides themselves.

It’s a book about ornithological research yet reads almost like a novel. Compared even to other Swarovski bins (such as the ELs, on the right of the photo), the NLs can make birds appear somehow “more” of themselves, larger than life, with the details more striking. A terrific book.

If you look closely, you will spot a sap well at the very top of the photo, right above the bird’s beak. When I began to research this phenomenon, I discovered that sapsuckers create elaborate systems of sap wells and maintain this resource throughout the day to ensure sap production.

But my impression is that there is less support for changing the name of every bird with an honorific name, if only because not all namesakes are terrible, and it seems like a lot of disruption to change so many names (about 140 in North America). Some see political correctness run amuck.
