Birding friends:

Tomorrow, November 18, 2003, is the official publication date for a
remarkable new book.   It is the American Bird Conservancy’s “The 500 Most
Important Bird Areas in the United States” (Random House).  Here are a few
comments about it from prominent birders:

David Sibley; “Birders will recognize many of their favorite haunts in the
important bird areas listed here, but few really understand the global
significance of these places.  This book puts each site in a global context,
and also provides an overview of the practical issues and challenges of bird
conservation in the twenty-first century.”

Kenn Kaufman: “This landmark book is indispensable for conservationists,
ornithologists, and birders alike”.
