while showing diminishing numbers in the north and northeastern part of the US and Canada, are quite abundant down here. Shrikes by the numbers: The family Laniidae is composed of 31 species of shrike, around the globe.

This happened to me recently on a birding trip, with somewhat egg-on-the-face results. Bill has led birding trips all across North America and has spoken or performed at more than 100 birding and nature festivals worldwide. I was on a birding quest trip with my friend Geoff Heeter.

And, I started daydreaming about encountering something a little different, maybe a Horned Frog, Ceratophrys cornuta, a large, squat green and brown frog of South America, with a wide mouth large enough to eat other frogs as well as reptiles. It is useful as a general introduction as well as for amphibian organization.

My feelings about shorebirds came back to me a few days later, as I observed a mixed group of peeps and Dowitchers at Mecox Inlet, eastern Long Island, not far from where Peter Matthiessen once observed the shorebirds of Sagaponack, the stars of the first pages of his classic The Shorebirds of North America (1967).

So, I was very excited when I heard that Rick Wright was writing a book about sparrows, the first treatment of North American sparrows since 2001, possibly the first book about sparrows of North America, depending on your definition of that geographic area.

Birders are always happy to see a turtle or tortoise, and there are times of the year when my social media feeds are sprinkled with photos of turtles beings removed from roads or crawling to land to lay eggs. Or that tortoises and terrapins are considered part of the turtle family. Lovich and Whit Gibbons.

The where and how of egg laying and larva emergence is briefly treated, with page references to larval drawings at the back of the book. And, to be fair, with the small number of species located in Great Britain and Ireland, there is far less confusion than in North America. Fritillaries, always a tricky id, are a good example.

It made us reach for our field guide for North America, but that really does not compare to the real thing. I had spent several holidays with my family in the USA in the 1980′s and then worked in Maine during the summer of 1985-beware the poison ivy and the snapping turtles!

This may have been partly a leftover from the Victorian fascination with egg collecting (the infamous passion known as oology), but probably more from people’s burgeoning interest in the nests and eggs found in their gardens and fields, gateway artifacts to a newer hobby called birdwatching.
