Bush’s adorable brown and white spaniel is credited as the only White House dog to write a book: Millie’s Book: As Dedicated to Barbara Bush. Kennedy’s family owned many pets, including a horse, which was a present to 5 year-old Caroline Kennedy. Caroline often rode the horse around the White House lawn. Polly the parrot.

To celebrate spring migration, I usually review an exciting new bird book. And, there is a fairy named Moth in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and a superhero named The Moth, appropriately from Dark Horse Comics, the poor cousin to the two big comic book companies. Introductory and Back-of-the-Book Material. Happy May Day!

In fact, bulbuls are the work horses of the bird world in many parts of Asia and Africa. As to my knowledge there is no book titled “The seven habits of highly successful bulbuls”, the alternative is a radical rebranding. … and the Olive-winged Bulbul (Singapore; eBird: “a large plain bulbul”).

I think I was 19 when I made my first bucket list of things I’d like to do, from horse-back riding to sailing, rafting, caving, climbing… all sort of things Willie Garvin was good at (minus the knife throwing). For the first time, I had to pack my entire life in 20 allowed kilograms and would not go without at least one book.

But I had hopes for the other two because they both started up the lunch talking about how they both bawled over that book Marley and Me.

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. And he details why.

Our guest post today is from Marty McGee Bennett, an animal behaviorist, trainer and author whose new book is called, “The Problem with Weight is NOT Losing It: Let Animals Teach You How to Balance Your Weight.” My book starts where other books stop – which is showing how to keep weight off once you’ve lost it.

Even though I picked up several books along the way, I always returned to this guide for its detailed descriptions and drawings in order to compare its information with other sources. Their fares are also quite reasonable—especially if you book in advance). Because I am relatively new to birding, this resource proved to be invaluable.

To the Editor: Re “ We Eat Horses, Don’t We? ,” by Christa Weil (Op-Ed, March 5): Ms. Horses slaughtered in America today go not to feed the poor and the hungry but to satisfy the esoteric palates of wealthy diners in Europe and Japan. But horses are not cows, pigs or chickens. Yes, all food animals should meet a dignified end.

Books are seeds, pamphlets are seeds, the horrifyingly dry gluten-free cookies I made last night would be seeds if I weren't about to throw them into the garbage (luckily I made only a dozen and can try to fix the remaining 2/3 of the batter).

Spring is the perfect season to take this book for a spin! The naming of the hornbill family is a bit farther fetched. Wikimedia Commons Bucerotidae is etymologically opaque to most birders, I’d venture, but when Rafinesque described the family almost two centuries ago, he had kine on his mind.

I don’t know about Jonathan; maybe he’s a horse person. Jonathan can post on anything he wants. He can even write about personal things, such as his attempt to become a vegetarian.

And one of the things you do is to study old documents, and you have this old book, this very very old book, that chronicles the life and times of some historic people in some historic period, but you don’t know exactly when it is from or where it was written.

Here are some observations: When reading a book about gorillas to/with a seven-year old, I was struck by the mixed messages the book sent. Here 's the book, and in the preview you can see that in the beginning when the gorilla being described is male he is referred to as "he." That makes sense to me.

At least he did not have a book titled “The Art of the Deal” ghostwritten for him. Elliot’s Laughingthrush is named after Daniel Giraud Elliot (1835 – 1915), an American ornithologist who apparently did not really do anything related to laughingthrushes and/or Asia but was rich. Maybe that was enough.
