Similarly, the Alpine Leaf Warbler is one of the more attractive species in an otherwise almost indistinguishable family of identical leaf warblers. (“But the difference in wing bars, Kai!”). Is it more important to protect one’s reputation as a serious bird blogger, or to spread a bad joke?

The book offers numerous facts about many species, findings of hundreds of research projects, notes on trends and exceptions from the norm, but little that captures the poetry of winter bird behavior or ignites a passion for change. The book is organized logically by seasonality.

As I have explained before these islands are the best place for a lot of the birding here because they are more easily protected from introduced mammals which wreck such havoc on the wildlife here. At night we had planned to go out looking for Blue Penguins , around 600 of which make the island their breeding home.

The one bird I did not see here, however, was the Bateleur Eagle … One highlight in the area is the Saddle-billed Stork , likely to be the tallest species in the stork family. Another member of the stork family, the African Openbill , looks like it is could benefit from a good orthodontist. And sadly, it is listed as Endangered.

But, as with many avian families, the more you look, the more complicated it gets. Looking further, the book itself says ‘83’ in the introduction. The book is organized into four major parts: (1) Introductory chapters, (2) Colour Plates, (3) Species Accounts, and (4) back-of-the book Reference and Index sections.

This excellent book describes nests but has few images of them, the color plates are of the nestlings and eggs. The guide covers over 650 species, most of the breeding birds in the United States (minus Hawaii) and Canada (like most guides with ‘North America’ in its title, it does not include Mexico or the Caribbean).

I had never heard of a seedcracker until two minutes ago when I went looking through a newish book to find a type of bird I hadn’t heard of before, and that took me less than two minutes. (It’s Pardalotes are actually their own family, and a family entirely endemic to Australia. It’s a type of estrelidid finch.

One gets the impression that Theodore Roosevelt would have had Dawson’s books in his library, and would have nodded approvingly at the descriptions of rare birds (with a mind to take a gun and make them rarer no doubt). It is at the breeding season, however, that the Western Gull accomplishes real mischief. Did I say firm?

Back home I meticulously planned the perfect birding route based on our explorations, made the bookings and confirmed the first commercial birding tour to Ghana. Although this park was logged in the past, as a national park it is one of the few forests in Ghana that is really protected. . What makes Ghana so special?

The Crossley ID Guide: Waterfowl , by Richard Crossley, Paul Baicich, and Jessie Barry is the fourth book in the Crossley ID Guide series, and I think it is the best one yet. This is how, I think, the “Crossley technique” works best—coverage of specific bird families that pose identification challenges to birders at all levels of skill.
