The Birder's Handbook
by Ehrlich, Dobkin, & Wheye
Paperback; 785 pages; published June, 1988
Over past years we have
recommended The Birder's Handbook by Ehrlich,
Dobkin, and Wheye. This is a unique book in that natural
history species treatments are on the left pages, while
on the right pages there are bird biology essays. For
example, on page 124 the natural history of Bristle-thighed
and Long-billed Curlews are covered, while opposite, on
page 125, there is a narrative on shore bird feeding.
For its compactness and for the content of the essays,
we still recommend this reference for any birder's library.
