[May 27, 2017] The Cornell Lab of Ornithology has introduced their
All About Birds Pocket Guide Series, including 15 new titles, all
published by Waterford press and the Cornell Group. The series is
designed for regions, including such titles as Feeder Birds of the
Midwest. These are not books but folding pocket guides that are
easy to use, carry in a pocket, fold open at a moment?s notice and
are quite weather-proof. The feeder birds guide has 40 colored bird
illustrations and lists the food types most preferred by each
species. Orioles come to platform nectar feeders, for example, and
so do ruby-throated hummingbirds. -- Jerry Davis * Wisconsin State

[May 31, 2017] The Cornell Lab of Ornithology published a useful
series of All About Birds pocket guides in May. It was developed to
inspire and support beginning birdwatchers. Each of the 13 folding
pocket guides keys in on a particular aspect of birding such as
Backyard Birds of Eastern and Central North America, Birding 101,
and Right Bird, Right House. Some guides relate to other parts of
the continent but many of them are useful to us. They can just slip
into your pocket and I like the fact they are weather resistant. --

[June 20, 2017] We all have indelible memories of positive
first-time experiences. If you are enamored of the natural world,
there?s a good possibility that some of yours are connected with
your early use of field guides. Looking over The Cornell Lab of
Ornithology?s All About Birds Pocket Guide Series (recently
released and published in collaboration with Waterford Press and
the Cornell Lab Publishing Group), memories arose of my childhood
and adolescent engagement with field guides. Field guides
supercharged my interest in nature and the awe that I have for it.
They increased my knowledge about animals I saw or hoped to
observe. -- Steven Brodsky * delcoculturevultures.com *
