Most of the chapters in The Bird Way focus on one or two scientists who has done extensive research on ‘outlier behavior.’

The core of the book are the Species Accounts, 190 accounts by 52 authors, some names that readers will easily recognize, others birders and ornithologists well-known in Pennsylvania. You can see the Species Account for Henslow’s Sparrow above, in the banner photo. The second page is the map page. Brauning and Andrew M.

By 6am we had our first Australian Brush-Turkey as shown in the above photograph and the list was soon started. Laughing Kookaburras with Australian Brush-Turkey in the background at a campsite. The absolute highlight was when I heard leaf litter being thrown about. Apostlebirds drying off.
