Hi all,
I think many tweeters are already familiar with this book, "Of a Feather- A brief History of American Birding."
What was genuinely surprising about it to me was to discover that it's a page-turner!

Also, it touched our hearts as it begins with a mention of Raymond Von Buskirk, the charismatic and talented young birder from Albuquerque and the tragic fact of the death of his friend Ryan in an automobile crash that they were both in while headed out to birdwatch, still in high school.  Every Christmas Delia and I would look forward to seeing these two  very nice young birders at the Portal AZ and Peloncillo Mountain New Mexico Bird Count, but one Christmas it was sadly only Raymond.


Cheers, Happy Sheltering,

Ed Newbold
