Subject: Call for Papers: Western Field Ornithologists 2008
conference
From: Ted Floyd <tedfloyd57(AT)hotmail.com>
Date: 3 Apr 2008 3:13am
Hello, BirdChatters.
I append below the Call for Papers for the 2008 WFO (Western Field
Ornithologists) annual conference, to be held October 9-12, 2008, in San Mateo,
California. (San Mateo is in the Bay Area, just south of San Francisco.) For a
general overview of the conference, check out:
http://www.wfo-cbrc.org/
More details at:
http://www.wfo-cbrc.org/33rd%20Annual%20Meeting.pdf
Looks to be a great meeting, with superb speakers (keynote address by Carla
Cicero), fantastic field trips (including special pelagics offered by Shearwater
Journeys), a fine mix of workshops and expert panels, and the usual camaraderie
that is so characteristic of WFO meetings. And something else: Lots of new
blood at WFO these days, with important contributions from a great new crop of
young field ornithologists, and a generally high level of enthusiasm and
ambition in the organization.

Call for Papers for the 33rd Annual Meeting of Western Field Ornithologists
Abstracts are now being accepted for presentations at the 33rd annual meeting of
Western Field Ornithologists, to be held 9–12 October 2008 in San Mateo,
California.
Oral presentations should reflect original research or summarize existing
unpublished information and should be presented in a manner that will be of
interest to serious amateur and professional field ornithologists. Papers
presented at other conferences will be considered provided that the material has

Like most of you, I find the various field guides all have their own
merits. I do believe the Sibley Guide is just outstanding in several
areas...the artwork being first and foremost.
However, my emotional attachment is still with the Peterson Guide and it's
the only one I take in the field...the rest stay in the car. Plus it fits
better in my pocket or slipped in my waistband than any of the other
guides.
That said...I'd like to mention that the next two programs of my podcast,
Birdwatch Radio will focus on RTP and his field guides. My conversation is
with Douglas Carlson about his recent biography of Peterson. The next
program should be uplinked by Friday.

Dear All,
Recently when I was conducting a Bird Guides Training, I was asked to
give an estimate of Bird watchers in world. Is there any one with a
figure say for North America, Europe, Australia, or the whole world.
The second challenging question was " Is there a birder who has seen
all the birds in the world?" . These are challenging questions. Any
answer out there?
In November when I was in California birding near Sacramento, I met
guy with an ipod with all the bird info of birds of America. This is a
very fantastic job. I wish I knew him and invited him to East Africa
to do one for us.
Thank you all
Good Birding

Subject: Field Guides
From: "Gorton, Gregg" <Gregg.Gorton(AT)va.gov>
Date: 3 Apr 2008 8:48am
I'm surprised no one has taken note of Sibley's absolutely superb
descriptions of bird vocalizations-definitely the best, by far, in any
of the guidebooks out there. RTP tended to focus more on mnemonics,
following in the long tradition going back to Burroughs and Thoreau, and
those mnemonic phrases definitely have great value for many birders,
depending on your learning style when it comes to vocalizations. But
Sibley is more in keeping with the modern approach-see, for example, Dan
Lane's descriptions of vocalizations in the new Birds of Peru... I
highly recommend carrying Sibley in the field for help ID'g an
unfamiliar call when you can narrow the choices to a genus or to a few
species...

Subject: Re: North America Field Guides---How do they
rate?
From: "John Beetham" <john.beetham(AT)gmail.com>
Date: 3 Apr 2008 9:10am
Unlike most of the responders so far, I'm a Sibley partisan. If I carry a
guide in the field, it is almost always the Sibley Guide to Eastern North
America. His illustrations are much more helpful for making identifications
than those in the other guides available. When I'm out birding, I want the
quick visual check rather than a wordy one. If I need the help of a text, I
can always reference it at home.
In May and September I sometimes take the Dunn and Garrett warbler guide as
well.
I know it is common to recommend Peterson for beginners, but my experience
was somewhat different. I only made the leap from casually interested
beginner level to birder after I got my hands on a Sibley guide and could
identify more birds more accurately.

From: "=?windows-1252?Q?Richard_H._Payne_(rhp_AT_shsu.edu)?=" <rhp(AT)SHSU.EDU>
Date: 3 Apr 2008 9:12am
Herbert’s question about numbers is one that we’ve been wrestling with for
years. In my case, more than 20 years. The answer really depends on how
you ask the question and what you need to do with the answer.
While I really can’t speak to the world figures, the US numbers are
interesting in and of themselves. (Warning: I will over-simplify this in
the interest of considerable brevity.) The National Survey of Recreation
and the Environment done under the auspices of the US Forest Service asks
simply whether people look at birds. NSRE finds 81.8 million people who
look at birds. The US Fish and Wildlife Service study asks if people
looked at birds while away from home, and that obviously covers a wide
range of looking. They come up with 47.7 million. They also ask if the
primary purpose in leaving home was to look at birds, which still covers a
wide range of activity. The numbers for that question show 20
million “primary purpose birders.” In the 2001 FWS survey, respondents
were asked whether they kept a list. 2.3 million people said they did.
Many of my birding friends have argued about these numbers through every
iteration of the surveys. However, their arguments are invariably
misdirected, because they really want to argue about the definition of
a “real birder.” And that is an unending and unwinnable argument. What the
surveys are essentially telling us is the number of people who find their
way to nature through birding. That’s very important from a public policy
standpoint. Having looked at the designs of the survey’s, I am very
comfortable with what they produce. The margins of error are quite small
and the levels of confidence are quite high. From a statistical analysis
standpoint, the projects are solid.
So, there are a lot of birders out there and, obviously, they are of
different levels of skill and avidity. However, the economic impact of our
recreation is huge, but that’s another topic for another time.

On the topic of Field Guides & vocalizations: descriptions & mnemonics are
both "classical" approaches. I carry an ipod loaded with 800+ field
recordings (plug: www.birdjam.com) in the field and especially when I
travel. I recently used this to confirm what I was hearing were Common
Pauraque (Laguna Vista, TX) and to tune my ear for Golden-cheeked Warbler in
Austin, TX) for two good examples. I find the recordings to be extremely
useful for learning, but also to confirm what I think I know...particularly
call notes, etc.
Good birding,

Subject: James Coe's Golden Guide for Beginners
From: "Matthew Medler" <mattmedler(AT)borealbirds.org>
Date: 3 Apr 2008 10:08am
I've been loosely following the recent field guide discussion, but
didn't notice any messages that mentioned James Coe's Golden Guide to
Eastern Birds: http://www.jamescoe.com/fieldGuides.html
I haven't seen one in a while, but from what I remember of it, I thought
it was a very good guide for beginner birders. I liked the artwork, and
I appreciated the fact that it was selective in what species it did and
didn't show (excluding or de-emphasizing rare birds to eliminate
confusion for beginners).
When non-birding friends would ask about field guides, I would either
recommend this guide to them or get one for them as a gift (I remember
it being quite affordable). It's been a few years since I've purchased
one. Does anybody know if this guide is still available?

For beginners, the book that got me started, and one I invariably
recommend, is the Birds of (State) by Stan Tekiela. It's really designed
for beginners, in that its limited to the birds most likely to be seen in
the area, and it's arranged by color and within color, by size. You don't
need to have any idea what kind of bird you're looking at to be able to
find it in the book, and the photos are very well-chosen to make most
routine IDs very easy. And, in the back, it has a small, local, non-
initmidating checklist, which was my personal downfall. (I bought the
book to identify three birds I saw in my back yard, and look what's
happened to me now!)
Of course, I outgrew the book very quickly, but if I'd started with
something more comprehensive, I don't know that I would have gotten as far
as I did as quickly as I did. Tekiela's books are also available with CDs
of the birds' songs, arranged in the same order as in the book.
Anyone just getting started, but especially children, will find this
series to be a great resource.
(And, of course, I have no connection, financial or otherwise, with the
writer or publisher of the book.)
ps: In the field, I mostly use my National Geographic Handheld Birds on a
Palm PDA, supplemented by Sibley East.

Birders are as idiosyncratic about their field guides as they are about
their binoculars. For me, this is the one failing in Sibley's otherwise
superb guide--the descriptions do absolutely nothing for me, although
they evidently work for other birders.
FWIW, I belong to the "leave the field guide at home" school unless I'm
in an area I know nothing about--was fumbling constantly with my Pizzey
& Doyle while in Australia many years ago. It forces me to remember
field marks (I occasionally take notes in really confusing situations).
My life list is in the margins of my National Geographic guide (still
using 2nd edition), but I've primarily relied on Sibley since it first
appeared.

Subject: Illustrating the experience
From: "Guttman,Burton" <GuttmanB(AT)evergreen.edu>
Date: 3 Apr 2008 2:54pm
I want to pick this thread up because it opens up an aspect of birding -- of
generally enjoying nature -- that we may ignore too easily in our quest to see a
lot of new birds, to identify every bird surely, and other activities that seem
to be typical of birding these days. Here are a couple of previous quotes:
Brenda wrote "...observe, observe, observe! I take notes or draw...". Seems
like a romantic notion - exploring some old growth and creating charming
drawings of the experience - bring a bit of it back with you to remember and
share. But I'm not so jaded to think that's not a great idea - if only I could
draw handedly.
The problem with paper drawings is that it may take a lifetime to develop the
artistic skill. And who would want to interrupt the birding experience to make a
detailed drawing even if they had the ability?
And someone else complained about "not being able to draw." Well, my first
point is that people commonly complain that they just can't draw, and yet it is
quite easy to learn to draw well. Get a copy of Betty Edwards's book Drawing on
the Right Side of the Brain, which I understand is out of print but can
certainly be found in used- book stores or on line. I've used the book with
students, and while I haven't had time to go all the way through the course
myself and acquire the ability I would like to have, Edwards really shows how to
develop the ability with quite simple and enjoyable lessons.
My second point is that there is an artistic and naturalistic tradition of
combining the nature notebook with drawings. I have at least two books in this
tradition: The Undercliff, by Elaine Franks (Little, Brown, 1989, or Bulfinch
Press, London) and Janet Marsh's Nature Diary (Michael Joseph, London, 1979).
They are charming books that present notes on nature adventures with beautiful
drawings and paintings of what the authors have seen on their nature rambles.
The quotation from Brenda above, about observing, raises the point that the
pencil is an excellent eye, and that capturing something in a drawing, even a
clumsy drawing, forces one to see accurately. And this leads to my third point:
that experiencing nature by observing, making notes, and drawing forces you to
slow down and to actually enjoy the experience. Among the most treasured books
in my library are books that I grew up with, written by naturalists such as
Edwin Way Teale, Donald Culross Peattie, Sally Carrighar, Aldo Leopold, and John
Kieran, recording their nature adventures. The very title of one of Peattie's
books (I think -- I don't own a copy), Days Without Time, conveys the essence of
the idea. Slooooooooooww dooooowwwnnn. Instead of continuing to live in the
insane rush that our society seems to impose on us, use birding, butterflying,
and other adventures in nature to escape from the insanity. Forget about time.
Go off and lose yourself somewhere, in the same way that many of us -- maybe
only those who are older, not you young sprouts -- used to do when we were kids,
just learning to observe and enjoy the world. For a long time when I was a
kid, I didn't own a pair of binoculars; we were too poor to afford them. But I
went off by myself into the quiet woods and I observed birds, close at hand.
When I was a little kid, about as tall as the tall weeds in the empty lots (are
there any empty lots today?), I got lost among the weeds, looking closely at the
insects and the flowers. Has birding become such a high-pressure insane
activity for most birders that this has become impossible? I hope not.
Cheers to all,
Burt
