That’s a very good price. This is the paperback, slightly revised to fix a few
typos and add a page of new species. The hardcover is all but OP; there are a
few available here and there.
This is as good a time as any to answer the occasional question Matt and I get
about when/if/how there will be a new edition of Birds of Oregon, which is now
13 years downstream. The answer is, some very preliminary misty insubstantial
but nonetheless substantive conversations are happening. There is a tentative,
uncertain and yet increasingly plausible possibility that something yet to be
named, conceived or even described might occur in the period 2020-2023. But
we’re not sure.
A project like Birds of Oregon is not lightly undertaken. Fools may rush in,
but their bodies will be found in the spring thaw.

You can order online and no shipping charge if you pick it up.
I already have one.
If you do purchase it, maybe notify OBOL so others don't try.
