Might make a interesting replacement for Nat Geo, since it seems to be covering all the rare vagrants that it sounds like Nat Geo will not bother including in the next edition. (one of the demo pages had Pallas' Gull)

I have the McMullan/Navarrete Ecuador "fieldbook" and the McMullan/Donegan Colombia field guide. I consider them useful, and I'll no doubt buy the North America guide. But I doubt that it will replace my Nat Geo in the field.

FYI, the next edition of the NAT Geo has new authors will be substantially different (although using the same illustrations). I love my Nat Geo even if it isn't something I use much locally, but I am not happy with the direction of the new book so far. Hence why I mention it might be filling the niche that the Nat Geo used to occupy.

I hadn’t seen anything about this before. I have the CO and EC guides and find them quite useful.

However it’s ANOTHER inappropriately titled book. There are more than 2 countries and more than 1100 species in North America, full stop.

I've just had a quick look at the blurb & specimen pages for this book. Its design is reminiscent of Morcombe's "Field Guide to Australian Birds", a big plus in my opinion. It shares a similar layout, a good (if 'telegraphic') text and the same tall & narrow dimensions making it a more pocket-friendly book than many guides. I'm sorry to say that, if the sample plates are anything to go by, it shares that book's Achilles heel, sub-par illustrations. The current generation of bird artists have reached such an Olympian level of brilliance that we've all grown accustomed to illustrations of such an astonishing standard that nothing less than genius-level work will do. The long-awaited Princeton Guide to North American Birds will certainly match the criterion of having stunning illustrations but I hope it's not delayed for too much longer!

Lost Animals, Disappearing Worlds Stories of Extinction

By Barbara Allen

Lost Animals, Disappearing Worlds presents thirty-one extinct species through personal portraits. The intimate approach not only highlights each species but explores the broader implications of losing a species forever. How do we honour such a loss? Can we grieve for species we never knew? These animals range from the well-known passenger pigeon, thylacine and great auk, to lesser-known creatures like the Arabian ostrich, Saint Helena earwig and Bramble Cay melomys. These poignant portraits tug on the heartstrings and aim to inspire readers to protect vulnerable and endangered species today, motivating them to play a positive role in conserving our planet's biodiversity.
