--001636c924e678ef690480d8d755 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi, The 2nd edition of the best field guide to birds of Europe is now out, called, in N.America, appropriately, Birds of Europe (2nd edition), by Svensson, Mullarney and Zetterstrom. It's already sold out almost everywhere, but Buteo Books (through the ABA web site) has some new stock available, and I just bought one. There are a number of changes and improvements from the 1st edition ( a new copy of which is selling on Amazon for $600!). It remains a superb guide, fits into a large pocket or a backpack, and has arguably the best text and illustrations for many species that occur in both areas - e.g. waterfowl, gulls, loons, shorebirds etc. Also IMHO a must for anyone travelling to Europe or W.Asia or N.Africa. A great addition to the birding literature. And BTW for people with Iphones, I-bird in its various forms is already available as an App., and I see that an e-version of Sibley's field guide is now available as well. The 1st edition of the above book is available for the Palm Pilot, and apparently will be coming to the Iphone too. Richard -- ################# Richard Stern, 317 Middle Dyke Rd.
