The guide has been expertly, even lovingly revised, expanded and updated (as the authors’ names indicate, this is largely a family affair). Originally organized by structure and ecology, they have been reclassified according to relationships discovered by DNA research. McKnight and Vera B. McKnight published in 1987. Conclusion.

An array of tools ranging from geolocators to satellite trackers to depth measurers to miniature cameras have been employed by ornithologists and biologists over the past twenty years, yielding scads of information. Instead, the studies Brooke summarizes and other resources are listed in an extensive Notes section.

The guide presents 69 species and 1 subspecies, from “NEW WORLD VULTURES: Cathartiformes” to “OSPREY: Pandioninae” to “FAMILY: Accipitridae” (Kites, Hawks, Eagles, Hawk-Eagles), to “FALONIDS: Falconidae” (Falcons, Forest-Falcons, Caracaras, Kestrels, Merlin). That’s a lot of visual information! Its organization can be challenging.

As you can easily judge from the dullness of this information, it is not something I made up but rather an appalling example of nepotism in the naming of birds.

It’s the bird family that most people don’t know is a bird family. The speaker turned out to be Tim Laman, and the topic was the incredible research he and Ed Scholes had spent years doing on birds of paradise in New Guinea. For many years it was thought the two bird families were related taxonomically.

Birders who submit their checklists to eBird likely know that their data may be used to conduct research on avian migration, range, or population. It has also been used by researchers from other fields, such as economists. They also obtained socioeconomic information about neighborhoods. Green spaces may also help reduce stress.

I very much enjoy using the Species Accounts; they are a model of informational economy, communicating a lot of information quickly and easily through graphics and design, photographs and minimal text. I got all that information from six tiny icons. The goal here is to give the information the birder needs, no frills.

Within families, the species are arranged less taxonomically and more in line with “design and space considerations,” (Introduction), and on the plates themselves, species are arranged to facilitate comparison. Readers are referred to articles from the bibliography for more information. And, they are simply beautiful.

Way back when I started what turned out to be my thesis research (on humans), it became important for me to learn about bird migration. I was involved in the study of human movement and navigation on land, and there was a lot of research coming out about bird navigation. Itcher birds, migratory members of the tern family.

Much less text information is in the ABG , much of it about plumage details and subspecies differences. Masked Lapwing is a very easy bird to identify, so there is a question about how the Compact Guide works in the field when trying to identify trickier birds, like Honeyeaters, a family totally new to many North American birders.

Most of the species are described in the Species Accounts, arranged taxonomically into 86 family chapters. Each family chapter begins with a brief, bold-printed description of the common traits of the species in the family and an enumeration of the number of species worldwide and the number of species in North America.

Very little information was available at the time, so we hired a car and off we went, following the few tips we had managed to gather but mostly our noses. One of these colonies has now been opened to tourism after researchers studying the birds deemed visits by birders to be non-disruptive. And wow, what a trip we had!

I strongly suspect that the rate of attrition on this Loon family is inversely proportionate to the abundance of ducklings in the bay. Non-bird watchers without binoculars and experience are notoriously bad sources of information. But now there is some research on that. And, every now and then one of the Loons disappears too.
