Greater Adjutants are huge birds that were once widespread across much of Southeast Asia; today there are two small breeding populations in India and Cambodia. There is no experience comparable to birding a dump, and, I have to say, I have never experienced a dump like this one. There were several there, plus Lesser Adjutants.

I get my own idea of the lunacy of Gooddie’s quest when I talk to a friend who has birded Asia and Africa. Beer looms large in Gooddie’s daily routine, and much text is devoted to finding beer in the middle of rural Asia and evaluating its quality. I’m reading a book about a man who is doing a Pitta Big Year,” I say. And leeches.

White-breasted and Red-breasted Nuthatches can be found across almost the entire continent, Brown-headed Nuthatches are common in the southeastern United States and Pygmy Nuthatches liven up outings in the mountain west. We North Americans are spoiled with nuthatches. Pity the poor European birders.

The videos and talks have wet our appetites for a book that promises to be visually exciting and fun to use, designed by birders who have used their own experiences in the field to determine what warbler seekers really need.

Any doubt I had about the need for a book about rare birds in the United States And Canada were wiped out on a Sunday evening in early February with two birding friends. The mystery of their presence makes finding one, chasing one, viewing one a unique experience. First, what is a rare bird? I do have a problem with the Index.

Elizabeth’s experience and ingenuity, for example, can be seen in her lithograph of Langsdorff’s Aracari; there was only a single specimen in a German collection and its tail was mutilated, so she obscured the tail in her plate by placing it behind a large leaf (pp. 168-168).

I was trying to find that answer for a while and it turned into a very annoying experience. United States 1160 12.
