The next spring she reported that her first class was doing very well and were able to rapidly identify nearly 200 species. I rushed down to aid with what I could give, taking several spare bird books, DVD’s, bird T-shirts and Birdman Productions hats along with 2 pairs of my “extra” binoculars. That blew my mind.

Charles Harper’s Birds & Word s is the signature book of this bird and nature artist’s career. I love cardinals, real and illustrated, but the wonderful thing about this book is that you can also enjoy Harper’s other images, like Western Tanager and Eastern Kingbird. These are good examples of Harper’s art and text.

The first twenty-nine pages of the book, after the acknowledgements, table of contents, and other prefatory materials, are devoted to the Pantanal and Cerrado and the need to conserve these two endangered biomes. The one major drawback to this book is actually an intended feature and not a glitch. Talk about a win-win!

The book is from 2005 called “Identify Yourself, The 50 Most Common Birding Identification Challenges”. Showing a huge amount of faith, I closed my eyes and opened the book. and the species name will appear.

Jeff Masson's new book didn't cause me to unravel, but I did learn a lot about our friends and coevolvers, Canis familiaris. This Masson book ( here are all of them) is for Benjy, who was supposed to be a service dog but who was, shall we say, less than enthusiastic about the career choice that was made for him.

The single resource for today’s quiz is a book I just purchased. It is not a new book, about 6 years old. Today we are looking at two species that can be difficult to separate under typical field conditions. I tried on a purist attitude and chose not to ID the species. Wing coloration while sitting will help.
Expert insights. Personalized for you.
