Have you ever looked through the names in a bird book and thought It's all Greek to me! ? This entertaining and informative guide to bird names explains the meanings behind the names, many of which have fascinating origins and stories behind them. The universal system of `scientific' names, based largely on Greek and Latin, is used in all good bird books and assists birdwatchers around the world in figuring out exactly what they are looking at. While some of the names are fairly self explanatory- such as Troglodytes for the wrens, meaning `cave-dweller' - others are more mysterious. For example, did you know that the scientific name for the Ruff compares the bird to a jousting horseman - a reference to its spectacular display in the breeding season. Covering 600 bird species from around the world, Birds: What's In A Name? includes explanations for names for everything.

This conversational, humorous introduction to bird-watching encourages kids to get outdoors with a sketchbook and really look around. Quirky full-color illustrations portray dozens of birds chatting about their distinctive characteristics, including color, shape, plumage, and beak and foot types, while tongue-in-cheek cartoons feature banter between birds, characters, and the reader (“Here I am, the noble spruce grouse.

Elusive study organisms for ornithologists and highly prized additions to the birder's life-list, the antpittas (Grallariidae) and gnateaters (Conopophagidae) are among the most poorly known Neotropical bird groups. This authoritative handbook is the first book dedicated solely to these two families, combining an exhaustive review of more than two centuries of literature with original observations by the author and many knowledgeable contributors. Antpittas and Gnateaters provides a thorough guide to the identification and ecology of these birds, with detailed maps accompanying the text. A series of superb plates illustrate most of the 156 recognized taxa; supplemented by more than 250 colour photographs, the immature plumages and natural history of many species are depicted for the first time. This book is the ultimate reference on these remarkable and beautiful birds, and an indispensible addition to the libraries of researchers and birders for many years to come.

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER VI KNIGHTS OF THE CHISEL (Woodpeckers) NED, said I one day, I wish you'd keep your eyes open for a good woodpecker's hole situated so that I might be able to get some pictures of the old bird at the entrance. You know we've got pictures of some of them eating suet, but I haven't anything about their nesting, and we must have it for the book. What kind you want? he asked, stopping for a moment his operations on his broken butterfly net. Why, an Arctic Three-toed, or a Pileated, would suit me tiptop, I ventured. Oh, you go chase yourself! exclaimed the fancier of the butterfly etude. (Ned was as fond of music as of birds and butterflies.) Do you think I'm going to climb the North Pole to find those rare things? Give me something easier. All right, said I. I'll relent and give you the commonest kind there is, the fellow so well known that he has any number of names?Flicker, Yellow-hammer, High-hole, or, if you want to be more swell, Golden- winged Woodpecker. Do you think you could find one? I'm sure I can find Flickers' nests, he responded, but maybe they'll all be up in rotten stubs a mile high. But I'll see what I can do. So we both were rivals as to who would do the best. I found the first, because I was out the most, while poor Ned was shut up in school studying Latin, which he doesn't enjoy overmuch, yet finds it useful in learning the scientific names of the birds. I tell him that if he doesn't get his Latin lessons those big long bird names will stick in his throat. It needs considerable vocal lubrication from classical study to call a Redheaded Woodpecker a Melanerpes erythrocephalus, but it can be done, for Ned has accomplished it. But we will let him escape from school this fourteenth of May and drive five miles to se...
