I just got back from an extended trip (trip reports coming on Birds on the Brain), so I haven’t been able to do much for the site lately. But more reviews are on the way. In the meantime, here are some reviews I found last month.

The Great Penguin Rescue

The Birder’s Library has another copy of The Great Penguin Rescue to give away.

To enter this time, go to the North American Birding Forum and reply to this thread. The contest ends Saturday, December 18th, at midnight eastern.

Good luck!

Last month, the American Bird Conservancy held a webinar presentation about their new book, the American Bird Conservancy Guide to Bird Conservation. The recording of this event is now online.

This is a great book, and the 30 minute presentation does a good job of explaining (and showing) what it is all about.

The Stokes Field Guide to the Birds of North AmericaThe Great Penguin Rescue

Thanks to Little, Brown and Company and Free Press, respectively, I have copies of The Stokes Field Guide to the Birds of North America and The Great Penguin Rescue to give away.

How to win: Simply “Like” the Birder’s Library page on Facebook. Make sure you do so by Sunday, December 5. On Sunday evening I’ll choose one of the page’s fans at random to win a copy of BOTH books, and a second one to get The Great Penguin Rescue.

If you don’t have a Facebook account, never fear, there will be another way to win. Keep watch for more details.

If someone from outside the US or Canada wins, you may have to help out on the shipping, depending on how much it costs. (Sorry)

Good luck!!

Where did October go? And most of November, for that matter. Here, a little belatedly, are the bird book reviews that I saw last month.

I’m honored to have been asked to contribute to the North American Birding blog. Most of my posts will probably have something to do with books (big surprise). My first one is up – Bird Conservation – It’s Up to You
