Kingbird Highway: The Biggest Year in the Life of… door Kenn Kaufman

My third time reading this. Fun, light, well-written but it didn't really excite me this time.

But I did learn more about the history of the American Birding Association and how print media played a huge role in expanding the Big Year/hyper-listing phenomenon.

Kingbird Highway: The Biggest Year in the Life of… door Kenn Kaufman

Kenn successfully completes an item many experienced birders have high on their bucket lists and he does it on his own hitchhiking as a teenager with a miniscule budget. Nostalgic and inspiring and fun to read--a sure bet for any twitcher.

Butterflies of North America (Kaufman Field Guides) door Jim P. Brock

At first, I wasn't too excited about the illustrations, they seemed a bit crude and few in number. But the species descriptions are excellent. Also, an excellent selection of species on each page of plates, each with a catchy heading.
