Hi everyone-- As I'm sure you know, Don and Lillian Stokes have published a new field guide to the birds of North America. I interviewed the Stokeses recently while preparing our semi-annual roundup of books for birdwatchers for the December issue. This morning I put 14 of the best questions and answers - including why they feel that photographs are always more accurate than drawings; why they omitted conservation information from the field guide; and why in the history of North American Bird identification, shape has taken a backseat to plumage -- on our blog: 14 questions for Don and Lillian Stokes about their new field guide Birder's World Field of View http://bit.ly/9GeSzw Enjoy!
