About my libraryAs one can discern from my tagging, I have several primary interests. My greatest passion is bird books of all countries and in any language -- with the semi-unrealistic goal of using all the field guides in their respective countries.
Mammals, reptiles, butterflies, dragonflies, and flowering plants (of the USA) are important to my library collection.
A growing section of my library focuses on religious philosophy/claims and the methods/reasoning of how and why people believe what they do.
The last categories get lumped into my interest for natural sciences, languages, history, and geography.
I'm now trying to insert a smattering of fiction onto my shelves and into my daily reading.

That website of yours, wow! I'll be printing your Canada page once I unpack from moving due east onto the tundra on the shores of Hudson Bay. Thank you for your great springboard into birding books.
cheers from the subarctic, Mike

Thank you for your interest in all thing birding! My interest is focussed at the top of North America. Four titles listed in my libary and shared (or known) by you are:
Birds of the Yukon Territory, edited by Pamela H.Sinclair et al (2003)
UBC Press, HC, 595 pg.
A superlative work showing the zeal and dedication of the Yukon Bird Club, who have published a newsletter since 1993 and maintain a website. A big year blog bicycling North America in 2007-08 by a Yukon family can be found at www(dot)birdyear(dot)com.
The Birds of Canada, edited by W. Earl Godfrey, (1986, 2nd ed)
National Museum of Natural Sciences, HC, 595 pg.
The Atlas of Breeding Birds of Alberta, a Second Look,
edited by Glen Semenchuk et al (2007), Federation of Alberta Naturalists,
HC, 626 pg.
Wild Birds Across the Prairies, by Wayne Lynch, (1999), FifthHouse Publishing,
SC, 138 pg.
A fifth title is a travel guide but worth having just for its arctic bird illustrations alone. The bird section is pg 139-182 with 21 pg of superb color paintings by Jean-Luc Grondin.
The Land That Never Melts, Auyuittuq National Park, edited by Roger Wilson, (1976)
Parks Canada, SC, 212 pg.
All the best!

I would be interested in corresponding with you about birding books. Your review of Birds of the Yukon is spot-on.
