Reviews Coming Up

March 2, 2010 | Comments (0)

I had intended to regularly post about what I’m reading and reviewing, but I just noticed that I haven’t done so since last July. Where has the time gone? I guess that’s what happens when you have a newborn around. Convenient excuse? Yes. But the cutest, most adorable excuse I can imagine :)

Here’s what I’m currently reading and/or reviewing:

  • The Breeding Bird Atlas of GeorgiaThe Breeding Bird Atlas of Georgia
    Todd M. Schneider, Giff Beaton, Timothy S. Keyes, and Nathan A. Klaus

    Finally, my home state has its own Breeding Bird Atlas. It was worth the wait. Anyone who birds extensively in Georgia should get a copy.

  • Afield: Forty Years of Birding the American WestAfield: Forty Years of Birding the American West
    Alan Contreras

    Part memoir, but mostly just good writing about birding.

  • Birding the Great Lakes Seaway TrailBirding the Great Lakes Seaway Trail

    A guide to birding spots found along the Great Lakes Seaway Trail, which runs along the shorelines of the Great Lakes in Pennsylvania and New York.

  • Petrels Night and DayPetrels Night and Day
    Magnus Robb, Killian Mullarney, and The Sound Approach

    A guide to the tubenoses of the Northeast Atlantic. All the reviews that I’ve read have been glowing in their praise for this book, and I can see why. It has a little of everything – cutting edge investigation of species limits, travelogue, identification plates, and, naturally, sounds.

But to help fill in the gaps, I’m going to start regularly posting about the book(s) that I’m currently reading. These will be what I will be reviewing next, so it’s kind of like a preview. Here’s what I’m currently working on:
