Written in a friendly, inclusive style quietly grounded in science, How to Know the Birds is an excellent addition to the growing list of birding essay books by talented birder/writers like Pete Dunne and Kenn Kaufman. It’s spelled this way, all caps, because that is the official name.).

This is more than eBird reports–a checklist generated from the citizen science database lists only 1,413 species. The guide covers 1,433 species, the number of birds documented at the end of 2014, the cutoff point for the book. Clearly, this is an under-birded country. .

For more Bahama Nuthatch information and links, check his blog, [link].

Another blog has some very interesting remarks about the species, which I will just recite directly as they are well-phrased: “The Greater Racket-Tailed Drongo, a conspicuous black bird with a deeply forked tail, often forages in flocks comprised of up to a dozen different species of birds.

Of the Central Flyway states, Nebraska alone holds out in protecting the cranes, having proven by its longstanding Festival of the Cranes in Kearney that a crane is worth infinitely more alive and purring in the sky with its family than thudding, broken and bleeding, into a cornfield.

Don’t you love it when blog post writers split topics that do not interest you in the first place into two separate parts? He also served with the 13th Light Dragoons, fighting with them at Waterloo (though he can only have been about 18 at that point – I guess child protection laws were somewhat lax at that time).
