Think about it–how do you document the behavior of birds that spend years flying (or swimming) and feeding and, apparently, sleeping above or within the deep sea? We didn’t know much about migration routes, foraging away from the breeding colony, and feeding during migration, in the water and in the air.

Many birders keep personal birding lists or life lists, documenting the species they have seen throughout their birding experiences. They may go on birding trips, join birding events, participate in birding competitions, and collaborate with other birders to gather information about rare or elusive species.

I’m sure many of you have had similar experiences. I’m wondering as I write if you are shaking your head, uneasy that all these FACTS will interfere with your love of observing owls, an experience that easily borders on the mystical for some of us.

Practically every sentence is documented with these studies. Gorman’s personal field experience informs much of the text and his total grasp of the field means he relates one research finding to another with narrative ease. A 10-page Index is very helpful in locating topics, including country information.

Fortunately, Alan Tilmouth, a beat writer with pelagic experience, expressed an interest in the book as well. But the best place to observe them is from a boat or, if you are lucky, on their breeding grounds, which tend to be isolated islands. If a tubenose was documented in North America, it is in this book.

Besides the urgent need to identify my dragonflies, I was interested in hands-on experience using these field guides. The books (and, I assume the series) share a web-type design construct in which information is organized visually, by blocked colored spaces, bar separators, and size and color of font.
