re:Uh-Oh..The Blackbirds Are Back. That Means...! - 2005/01/08 19:27
Borrowing from my other message:
"Alan Smith's Saskatchewan Birds was short for the number of birds, but well written. Surprisin number of shore birds if you have the time to look. Birds of Alberta is a lot biger, written by Chris Fischer and
John Acorn, both Lone Pine publishing. They share some pictures, text is all different. I prefer these to the Stan Tekiela US bird books by state."
I did not look for the Manitoba book, as all the birds were the same as Saskatchewan, that I saw.
The Tekiela series drives me nuts with the birds tensely arranged by color.
Otherwise, the maps and index are a useful way to ID birds. In addition to that I saw a
Tanager in Nebraska that was not supposed to be there, but possibly just mised the line from Iowa and Missouri books. Regardless regional books, say
5 states, would be great.

Who could be sad about that?! With any luck, the evening grosbeaks shall decide they like my yard enough to stay all through this winter as good like they did last year. We can hope!
