"It is refreshing to come across a bird book whose subject cuts across all taxonomic and geographical barriers. Every day's birdwatching can be enhanced by the knowledge to be gained from this book" --Mark Avery, Ibis Illustrated by Crispin Fisher

Ruby-Throated Hummingbird
de Robert R. Sargent(Ed. Stackpole Books) Isbn : 0811726886
20.86 €
"It is hard to categorize these books. They are detailed life histories, not quite monographs but far more than typical one-species books for general audiences. If they were larger, and hardback, they would be coffee-table books, too well-written and too informative to be merely pretty picture books. Whatever they should be called, they are successful and should be read. I look forward to others in the series."

Our Life With Birds: A Nature Trails Book
de John Tveten, Gloria Tveten(Ed. Texas A M University Press) Isbn : 1585443808
23.7 €
"It is a warm but cloudy morning as we emerge from the dense mesquite thicket to stand on the northern bank of the Rio Grande. A small flock of green jays, purple-and-black heads contrasting brilliantly with green-and-yellow body plumage, noisily announce our presence. Slowly we work our way downstream, checking off on a mental list the other subtropical birds we see in this birder's paradise along the Mexican border. . . ." For nearly a quarter of a century, John and Gloria Tveten wrote a weekly column, called "Nature Trails," for the Houston Chronicle. Wide ranging in both subject matter and geography, their writings reflected a rewarding life of travel, study, and observation in nature, including many memorable encounters with birds. Through the Tvetens' accounts, readers traveled vicar...

"In two parts, "An Introduction to Owling" and "The Owls of North America," the Suttons present the hobby of owl watching and owl-spotting prospects throughout North America. Part 1 affords the enthusiast's perspective on spotting, recording, and enjoying the moment of discovery. Sighting an owl--a nocturnal creature, after all--requires patience, local knowledge, and the willingness to make squeaking and sucking noises. Part 2 with its species pictures, tables of names and physical dimensions, and range maps resembles a field guide. Little essays on the various owl species each cover a particular bird's peculiarities and advise how to successfully discover it. An excellent starter book for a fascinating hobby."

DEL-Birder's Guide to Bed and Breakfasts in the United States and Canada 2 Ed
de Peggy van Hulsteyn(Ed. Rick Steves) Isbn : 1562612255
17.06 €
"In order to see birds it is necessary to become a part of the silence." So said Robert Lynd, and it's a sentiment any birder will understand. Circus Circus in Las Vegas, for example, does not really set the mood for birding. What you want is a serene and gentle spot--even if you're hiking an hour to get to where the birds are, it's still a plus if your bed and breakfast starts and ends the day with the appropriate touch. It was with these criteria in mind that Peggy van Hulsteyn set out to find the 250 best B Bs near North America's top 100 avian refuges. Van Hulsteyn does more, however, than merely list convenient inns. Dedicated to the interests of birders, she tells how to get there by car, where the nearest airports are, who to contact (and how), when the best birding at any given l...
