    I don't think it's possible to directly link a specific facebook post (and I don't know if it would be viewable anyway unless you were friends with him). He's on facebook. It's not rocket science to find him if you want the original post.

    Ian Paulsen (who often has the inside track on field guides) posted the following information on his facebook page which should be of interest: "Penguin/Random House has announced the publication date for the newly revised Nat Geo East/West Bird Guides: 4 February 2025. The 8th edition of the...

    Just look for Ian Paulson on Facebook. You might need to friend him first...I don't know if his posts are public.

    Best bird guides by region...North America

    Ian Paulson of the Bird Booker Report (THE BIRDBOOKER REPORT) had some updates relevant to NA guides on his facebook page. First, Ian got ahold of some sample pages for the next edition of the Nat Geo guide, which is being taken over by Ted Floyd. Ian posted the page for Whistling-ducks, which...

    Thanks for clarifying. I am excited about this one, but somehow my mind always blanks on the other folks beyond Howell.

    I mentioned that they are both years away from being released. It is however being worked on.

    There is a new edition of the National Geographic Guide, and a completely new guide that Steve Howell was involved with but which I think has different authors now, but I am blanking on them. However both are years away I think.

    A 1999 printing? That's going to be 21 years out of date, and I think enough bird taxonomic changes have happened that I don't think it would be worthwhile

    also I presume those 37 species are mostly going to be vagrants and exotics. There have been a good number of splits but I think that number would be closer to say 10 than 37

    I actually prefer the taxonomic approach, which to me seems far less arbitrary. I think it also helps quite a bit...having vireos away from warblers for instance, when I started out birding, really helped me in honing on the distinct differences between those groups. Unless the book was utterly...

    I rarely carry my field guide around for local birding, although obviously will take it with me if in a more "exotic" part of the US or Canada. I hope they put the Hawaii birds in. If I can get by with a Nat Geo guide that includes vagrants with single records from over a century ago, Adding...
