This is more than eBird reports–a checklist generated from the citizen science database lists only 1,413 species. In what has become the modern-day traditional method of organization, species are listed and described on the left-hand page and illustrative plates are on the right. Clearly, this is an under-birded country. .

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. Each spread consists of a full-page painting of a bird or group of birds on the left and a combination of text and illustrations on the right.

Letters from Eden (Houghton Mifflin, 2006) will soon be followed by a memoir about the birds she has raised, healed, studied and followed throughout her life.
