Hi Paul,

I'd be interested to hear the opinions on this. I haven't used Hawks =20
at a Distance (though from what I've seen it's the state of the art =20
for hard core raptor watchers), but I have used Hawks from Every Angle =20=

and found it really handy. Also Dunne, Sutton, and Sibley's Hawks in =20
Flight has terrific ID tips. Both keep the key points from getting =20
buried in a lot of text.

I didn't find the Peterson guide to hawks to be too useful, but the =20
Princeton guide by Wheeler and Clark is a great reference, =20
particularly for perched birds.

It'd be real nice to see a hawk guide like The Shorebird Guide by =20
O'Brien, Crossley, and Karlson.

Cheers,
Andy Horn
Halifax
