The New York Times book of birds

This is a pretty cool compendium of articles from the New York Times about birds: new discoveries, conservation, how birds migrate, etc. They're all written in a fairly newspaperly way, of course, which means this isn't great literature, but it's fun in small doses. The only thing I really didn't like isn't actually the book's fault: I bought this in the early 00's, and all of the articles are from the 90's, so at this point some of the information is almost fifteen years old. So while a lot of the stuff is interesting, I actually have no idea if it's accurate. It ends up being kind of like a time capsule. There are a few subjects I want to revisit and see if I can find more information on, though, so it's not like this was a waste at show more all. Bottom line: good bathroom or commuting reading for bird aficionados who can read it without the constant nagging question of "is this theory still even current?" show less
