"Handbook of Bird Biology and thought it was an excellent reference, but this newer edition is just even" according to P. J. Owens. I have the 2nd edition of the Handbook of Bird Biology and thought it was an excellent reference, but this newer edition is just even more spectacular! The additional support found on the book's dedicated site just strengthens this books ability to really share insightful information for those of us who want to know a bit more than to know what all of the birds are! I'm also very excited to hopefully start taking the online class from Cornell that goes along with this book.. Outstanding! Kristen Ruegg This book is clearly written, beautifully illustrated and comprehensive. I will definitely us this as my go to book for teaching Ornithology as well as a reference for years to come!
