I have great admiration for Ballentine and Hyman’s ability to clearly articulate and summarize the many research articles they must have read in preparation for this book. There are no footnotes and the two-page list of books and articles for “Further Reading” is selective. This is a beautifully designed book.

The content of Birding was daunting, with detailed articles distinguishing seemingly identical birds. Virtually all of the identification articles are geared towards world-class ID experts. Such articles are fine, of course, but not at the expense of all content for beginning and intermediate birders.

In 2018, I read an article in Birding magazine by Jeff R. That article left an impression and I have wondered what became of Manker’s effort to create a high school ornithology curriculum. I checked in with Manker three years after his article for an update. What was the response to your Birding article in 2018?

Irrelevant final comment: On my way to birding sites, I have been listening to a lot of The Economist articles recently.
