Even the lyrics of the song echo the art and science of hawk watching, “Link by link, making the connections…”) Chapters are strategically illustrated with David Sibley’s drawings. The excellence of Hawks in Flight is rooted in the expertise, experience and skills of all three authors. These are not just drawings of hawks per se.

Suzie wrote about her experiences as a bird rehabber in Flyaway: How A Wild Bird Rehabber Sought Adventure and Found Her Wings (2009) and used those experiences as the source for her fictional children’s book, Hawk Hill (1996).

The three co-authors of Life Along the Delaware Bay are scientists who know how to write about science without jargon or pretense. If you have had the joy of birding the Delaware Bay (remember, this includes Cape May in New Jersey and Prime Hook in Delaware), what has been your most memorable experience?

I’ve been working on it so long that holding it in my hands was a completely surreal experience. But the kinds of experiences I describe are anything but common, because in many cases I’ve been their mama, or fixed them when they were sick or broken. There’s a lot of science in the book, but there’s also magic.

This is a delightful book, large (8-1/2 by 11 inches), filled with Sibley’s distinctive artwork and an organized potpourri of research-based stories about the science behind bird’s lives. His art is beloved (if you have owned a Sibley calendar at least once in your life, raise your hand) and his bird expertise is widely respected.

The magnificent history and diversity of birds on Earth came into sharper focus this month with the publication of 28 new scientific papers in Science and other journals. Jarvis et al. So if you need me, I’ll just be over here thinking about doves and flamingos, parrots and falcons, hummingbird brains and our own.

Science and Conservation , the second section, presents two-page summaries of the diverse research being done around the world about penguins. Raised in the Galapagos, she’s been exposed to penguins her whole life. There is also a great deal of biological and ecological information encapsulated within De Roy’s experiences.

I have written about the interesting sex life of these jacanas a few times already (short version: female mates with male, lays a bunch of eggs for him to incubate and raise the chicks, leaves him, finds another male, repeat). But it is all for science, I hear them say.
