trying to grasp the enormity of what had just happened, and reading this book, The Feathery Tribe: Robert Ridgway and the Modern Study of Birds by Daniel Lewis. Reading this book is, in addition to everything else, an exercise in getting to know the originals of many of our apostrophized birds. It’s challenging reading.

The new hot novelist Jenny Offill was quoted in the Times magazine recently about her first book: “If someone had described this novel to me, I would never have read it.”. Much of the book is devoted to explicating the intertwined relations of Alejandra’s family and Lili’s, about which a review should not reveal too much. By Susan M.

The Pough & Eckelberry guides (add in artist Earl L Poole who did black-and-white drawings for the later titles) were notable for Pough’s discursive text and Eckelberry’s lovely painted portraits, and many older birders have stories about how they were inspired by these books. This is a fairly large book: 907 pages; 7.38

It’s a matter of personal preference: neither does every reader like, say, science fiction, or the writing of Henry James, or romance novels. Each book involves a new crime (or several) to solve, but otherwise the characters live in a continuing story. There’s no accounting for taste. Fair enough.

It’s a sign, I think, when I receive a book to review and realize I just bought the same book, on my own recognizance, for my own pleasure. Also a sign when I spot other books by the same author on the shelf in the office of a member of my thesis committee, and on my own Christmas wish list. This is a good book.

Unfortunately, Woodley lost me right away. It takes a skilled hand to make the characters and threads equally compelling, and if they are not, the book feels unbalanced. So I will only say that it made me infavorably disposed towards the book, and you can draw your own conclusions. So I had high hopes for this novel.

How to Be a Better Birder is a very different kind of birding book, and, once you think about it, the perfect book to be written at this particular moment in the birding universe. He writes about how experienced birders think, and how they draw on the sciences of weather, geography, and ecology to analyze where the birds will be.
