So comparisons of bill shapes, foot shapes, and the like can certainly stimulate the imagination, but we need rigorous science to explore and synthesize more molecular work, morphological analysis, and biogeographical hypotheses in order to close more gaps in our understanding. What do you think?

He wrote about birds in North America, Central America, and parts of South America, including the Galapagos. This is probably one of the reasons Daniel Lewis,the author,turned from writing a popular biography to a history of ornithology as a science and the ornithologist as a profession. It’s challenging reading.

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. If you don’t live near a science museum, then read this chapter.

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. .

Science is based on logic and evidence, which I think is a very respectable way to look at the world. Science, for many years, has done no better.

The range maps contain an amazing amount of information: breeding, non-breeding, and year-round range in North, Central, and South America; migration routes for most species (including subspecies migration routes), and vagrancy range. The spectrograms are much easier to read in this volume, larger and darker.

They breed along the Arctic Circle in Canada and Alaska, and winter in southern South America, often in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. They sometimes fly the length of the world nonstop on their way south, but, fortunately for birders, may stop on their way north. It means something. So yes, I am feeling pretty good right now.
