Heh heh.

There's another birding mystery novel out there, Beware the Tufted Duck,
can't remember the author. The title says it: beware... Got almost halfway
through. A 'cookie-cutter' mystery in which the subject matter was murder in
a birding club but could as easily have been a stamp-collecting club, a
quilting circle, or a sailing association. Fill-in-the-blanks mystery-novel
boilerplate, in other words. Save your money for a good Lindsey Davis or
Laurie King mystery instead.
