Tweeters:

Perhaps not Tweeters material, but I just got my copy of Reed and Bush Warblers courtesy of
Santa (authors Peter Kennerly & David Pearson) from 'ol Dave up at Flora and Fauna Books
near here in Magnolia. By the way, Flora and Fauna is like a trip to the candy store for those
of you who are interested in finding any bird book ever published, plus a wide selection of botanic
and other natural sciences books. Also Kudos to Ian Paulsen--this guy can spot a new release
emerging long before anyone else it seems.

The warblers book is an astoundingly comprehensive treatment and features very good
new material on several species, for example some of the little-known and only recently-
described Russian Far East/NE China warblers. Now if we could just have Chistopher Helm
do as comprehensive a treatment of Phylloscopus (the leaf warblers), we'd be all set.
