NOVEMBER 30, 2022
This, 2022, has been a curious year for books about birds and birding. Despite the absence of two major publishers—Lynx and HMH–from the new title publishing scene (hopefully not permanently), we were happily surprised to read and peruse many excellent books. But this is more than a coffee table book. Highly recommended.

In the previous period I wrote mostly book reviews (but of some really great books ), yet I cannot remember when the last time was that I wrote of birding itself? First, that new pair of bins for testing arrived, of which you will be reading in a due time, and two days later, the Global Big Day. And then things got a bit faster.

When was the last time you chose a book by its covers? This book is essentially about those birds that breed on the continent south of the Sahara, a topic few birders are familiar with. He has authored several other books and many articles, largely on natural history.
