HI ALL:
I was wondering if there is a market for a Handbook to North American
Birds? Beaman and Madge produced one for Europe in 1998 and I was
wondering if something like that would be useful in North America? I know
there are several handbooks about North American birds that cover various
aspects of birds (field id, in-hand id, biology, life history, etc), but
there isn't a SINGLE source handbook that covers these topics for
North American Bird effectively. I'am the only one who thinks there should
be?
