We are excited to offer 2 lucky readers a copy of this great book! It’s no accident that dogs evolved this way, as humans have been selectively breeding them for around 14,000 years to serve our needs as laborer, companion, hunter, herder and warrior, as well as to suit our aesthetic fancy.

She has a new book out (which I am reading right now) called One Good Dog. My second favorite rescue story is that of Hunter, a beagle-ish dog that my daughter and son-in-law adopted from a shelter in Massachusetts. Turns out even though they knew that Hunter had found his forever home, he didn’t know it.

On our first morning after breakfast, my group and the teens piled onto a boat and headed out to Eastern Egg Rock, once again the breeding ground for Atlantic Puffins (as well as a host of other seabirds) thanks to biologist Dr. Stephen Kress. What’s it called when birds return to the same nesting spot?”

Not to mention, its brilliantly bulbous crimson throat, bloated during breeding season must be a sight! I can imagine myself inside the Brazilian Atlantic Rain Forest (with the book in my bag), checking every movement, searching for this almost legendary creature and of course jumping in joy when finding it!

Here’s hoping this bird makes it back to its home turf to breed and comes back to spend another winter in New York State! He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy, their son, Desmond Shearwater, and their two indoor cats, Hunter and B.B. Shouldn’t you be reading a book instead? I disapprove.

For my new book, due out in 2012 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, I’ve been researching sandhill crane hunting. Nationwide, wildlife watchers now outspend hunters 6 to 1. I’ve received letters and emails from a number of avid hunters who find the concept of shooting cranes repugnant.

So, one might surmise, it’s OK if they get shot by hunters thinking they’re sandhill cranes? Another 170 are in captivity, many of them breeding stock for reintroduction efforts. What could motivate gunmen (I cannot call them hunters) in two states to deliberately kill North America’s tallest and most critically endangered bird?

There is a book on the species, but it is out of print and seems impossible to find even in online secondhand bookstores. If (like me) you want to feel bad about it, you may want to read the review of the book here. Another danger to the species comes from lead poisoning as they eat the carcasses of deer killed by hunters ( source ).

Back home I meticulously planned the perfect birding route based on our explorations, made the bookings and confirmed the first commercial birding tour to Ghana. Here local hunters had known about the colony and for generations had been harvesting the birds by simply picking the adults off their nests during the breeding season.

The Crossley ID Guide: Waterfowl , by Richard Crossley, Paul Baicich, and Jessie Barry is the fourth book in the Crossley ID Guide series, and I think it is the best one yet. Answers are given at the back of the book, thank goodness. It also contains a unique feature that may not be accepted by some birders. But, more on that later. .
