Here are the bird book reviews published in the last month or so that I’m aware of.

And finally, guardian.co.uk has a preview of the upcoming Atlas of Rare Birds, which looks like a must-get.

Review Roundup: Birds of Europe

April 11, 2010 | Comments (0)

cover of Birds of Europe

The recently published second edition of the Birds of Europe field guide has been long awaited in Europe (where it’s known as Collins Bird Guide). But it has also received a lot of attention over here across the Atlantic. And rightly so, it’s a fantastic guide. I will be reviewing it shortly, but in the meantime, here are some others’ thoughts on it:

If I didn’t include a link here, it’s because I wasn’t aware of it. So if you, or anyone else you know, have also reviewed this, please add a link in a comment or let me know.

I got a little behind with this. So here’s a nice, big list of bird book reviews from other sites.

Review Roundup: October 11, 2009

Here are a couple of new reviews. But first: in my last Review Roundup post, I mentioned that I was about to become a father. Well, now I have! Our daughter, Cecelia Grace, was born on September 24. So far everyone has been doing pretty well, just tired. I took last week off of work to help out, thinking I could get some reading and reviewing done as well. Heh, you can guess how that turned out! So I may be a little slower updating the site in the coming days.

Another thing I wanted to mention is the establishment of a new natural history book review site! John Riutta, he of the fantastic Born Again Bird Watcher blog, has created The Well-read Naturalist. He will be reviewing all kinds of natural history books. I’ve always enjoyed his reviews, so I’m looking forward to more!

I wanted to go ahead and get this posted, since I may not have much time in the immediate future. If all goes according to plan, I’m going to become a father tomorrow!

I also just found a site with a good many bird book reviews – The Oceanwanderers Book Shelf. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been a post since December.

Here is some bird book review goodness for your reading pleasure:

And here are a few more interesting links:

  • The Natural Capital blog has an overview of three field guides.
  • Patrick, of The Hawk Owl’s Nest, shows us a birding board game from a few years back. If you could get a group of birders inside for a little while, it looks like it would be fun to play!
