Bird-Book Bargains

I visited my favorite all-books-for-a-dollar book store today and picked the following bargains:

• Eifert, Virginia S. 1962. Men, birds, and adventure: the thrilling story of the discovery of American birds. Dodd, Mead, and Company, New York.
  
  
• Halle, Louis J. 1989. The appreciation of birds. Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore, Maryland.
  
  
• Hilty, Steven. 1994. Birds of tropical America: a watcher’s introduction to behavior, breeding, and diversity. Curious Naturalist Series. Chapters Publishing Ltd., Shelburne, Vermont.
  
  
• Kastner, Joseph. 1986. A world of watchers: an informal history of the American passion for birds. Sierra Club Books, San Francisco, California.
  
  
• Rand, Austin L. 1955. Stray feathers from a bird man’s desk. Double Day and Company, Garden City, New York.

Now the trick will be trying to find the time to actually sit down and read one or two of them!
