I actually lost the cover of the spine without realizing it until I found it the next week while birding the same spot.<br /><br />One improvement I am hoping for is a better quick index. The first edition of the original did not have one*. They soon corrected this with a glued-in page that never wants to stay open. Worse, when the trees book came out they still used a glued-in afterthought. It would be nice to have one that doesn't fight with me.<br /><br />*I have a signed copy of the first edition as my keep-in-the-house copy. 8-)rmharveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17819502327298247865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6338191661041257794.post-46774506510565167232013-10-31T11:21:45.124-07:002013-10-31T11:21:45.124-07:00I will give all of my money for this.

They were SO much more vivid than in the field guides--including editions corrected after the book was first released. It's exciting that he's updating. I do hope he'll be releasing an app with all the changes. Even if it costs full cover price, it'll be worth it.Laura Ericksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17288198339388913453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6338191661041257794.post-71356929840476309042012-04-03T19:01:24.863-07:002012-04-03T19:01:24.863-07:00I wish he'd do a book about the birds of Mexic...I wish he'd do a book about the birds of Mexico. It's sorely needed. Tho' the US media casts a bad view of the drug wars, I can attest to the safety in the central area. I live here and bird the countryside with never a fear. Ever.<br /><br />If he could be coaxed into doing such a field guide, I would like the section on raptors and non-vocalizing flycatchers to be very detailed. More and more, pelagics are of interest to international birders, so that could be an expanded section or even a separate book. <br /><br />If David needs a place to stay on Lake Patzcuaro, my casita is available to him and his family, and I have separate space for him to work/draw.Georgia Contihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09565814231447830712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6338191661041257794.post-50359834984694378442012-04-03T17:30:39.929-07:002012-04-03T17:30:39.929-07:00He's still without rival.
