To attract new members and retain existing ones, the ABA must have a compelling vision that builds on its strength as the only national organization that represents birders. When I started birding, I viewed the ABA as an organization for bird-identification experts and hard-core listers, not as a place to start.

Her children’s books–which include the charming Mama Build a Little Nest , other picture books, and chapter books–evince an easy familiarity with birds, their science and birding ethics. There are, of course, 52 activities, each with its own chapter, organized by season of the year. How many birds do you see?

They were different from previous guides, notably Peterson’s, utilizing photographs instead of artwork, and organizing the photographs by habitat, bird shape, and bird color rather than taxonomy.

Bird communication is a complex and evolving science. I wish there was more discussion of research techniques and resources. It would love to read more about the ethical considerations that go into using playback for research purposes and how federal rules against playback affect research design.

Finding owls is the occasion to discuss the ethics of playback. This makes for an attractive looking book, but I do think that the page space could have been put to better use, maybe for a listing of the resources (organizations, field guides, citizen science websites) recommended throughout the book.

The result is a really good read, a suspenseful true-crime narrative that reads like a novel yet also probes real-life questions focused on the purpose of natural history museum collections and the ethics of closely gated “hobbyist” communities. Simon Baron-Cohen, cousin to the comedian. Mostly adult males. And, well researched.
