Both authors are experienced workshop educators at CMBO and birding festivals around the country. Their co-authorship is an engaging partnership of the avian colloquial, Dunne’s stock in trade, and visual education, an approach at which Karlson excels. These vary according to species.

So, curious about which birds nest in two places, I quickly found out that it’s Phainopepla, a western bird, a relief because I was concerned that it might have implications for my data collection for the NYS Breeding Bird Atlas. It also utilizes an entertaining educational format, bursting with energy and fun.

Another 170 are in captivity, many of them breeding stock for reintroduction efforts. Hunting sandhill cranes in the Eastern flyway will put those 100 whooping cranes at even greater risk of being brought down by gunfire, hunter education courses and handy color brochures notwithstanding. Quick: what’s this? Nobody needs to eat them.

I knew I would not be seeing the bird in its rosy-breasted breeding plumage, but somehow seeing the bird in all its forms helped crystallize its appearance in my head. Crossley has wisely positioned his series as an educational resource, to be used as much at home as in the field. I studied it. Sadly, I still did not see the bird.
