The Book in Today's Paper

There's a nice story in today's New Mexican, in connection with the 8th Annual Great Backyard Bird Count, about a book by Mark Obmascik, The Big Year : a Tale of Man, Nature, and Fowl Obsession. We have another terrific book on the same subject (the birders' "Big Year") with a similarly revealing subtitle, Kenn Kaufman's Kingbird Highway : the Story of a Natural Obsession That Got a Little Out of Hand.
    Ready for some birding yourself? Look in the stacks around the 598's in the non-fiction. Sibley has become the standard guide, it's the one they suggest at the bookshop in the Bosque del Apache.
