Our Favorite Bird Books (and one pair of Binoculars) of 2022

10,000 Birds

This, 2022, has been a curious year for books about birds and birding. Despite the absence of two major publishers—Lynx and HMH–from the new title publishing scene (hopefully not permanently), we were happily surprised to read and peruse many excellent books. But this is more than a coffee table book. Highly recommended.

ABA Field Guides to Birds of Colorado and Florida

10,000 Birds

This latest addition to the ABA State Field Guide series is sorely needed in places like Wakodahatchee.

Animal Person

Jeff Masson's new book didn't cause me to unravel, but I did learn a lot about our friends and coevolvers, Canis familiaris. This Masson book ( here are all of them) is for Benjy, who was supposed to be a service dog but who was, shall we say, less than enthusiastic about the career choice that was made for him.

When Birds Are Near: Dispatches From Contemporary Writers

10,000 Birds

I should add that the Big Owls taking over NYC social and even hard print media, dominating conversations with my nonbirder friends and family, are not the only owls in the five boroughs, but like a musical, the closer you are to Broadway, the closer you are to fame and fortune (and maybe even a higher quality rodent for dinner, who knows?).
