10,000 Birds
NOVEMBER 30, 2022
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.

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

5) Here is an obvious one…books. There’s a lot of good, crucial books published since the late 90′s.

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.

camera, laptop, book and a snack. You can stuff them in shoes, wedge them in gloves and even if it’s too warm, you can use them to apply heat to sore muscles. I have a backpack from Swarovski but there are a variety of backpacks out there that will do the trick. My carry on will always have my scope (1.) binoculars (2.),

The NYC owls have little to do with the book in front of me except that it too is about birds and people. Donald Kroodsa’s “The Hour (or Two) Before the Dawn” is an adapted chapter from his book Listening to a Continent Sing (PUP, 2016). But–is that it?
