Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Birds Of Wisconsin Field Guide

I only have the 1999 edition of this book, but it is a highly useful, pocket-sized resource. Birds are organized by main color, with listings in two sections where appropriate - for example, the hooded merganser is shown in both the brown section because of the female's mainly brown coloring and the black/white section because of the male's black and white coloring. Cross references are included when birds appear in two sections. There's also an index in the back so you can look up birds by name. For each bird, a map of Wisconsin is provided that shows the bird's range in summer, migration, winter, and/or year round. In addition, information is given on size, coloring (male, female, juvenile), nest, eggs, incubation, fledging, migration, food, and how to tell this bird from similar birds. Notes are provided to give further information on the bird's habits and qualities. This book has been invaluable in helping me identify birds at my feeder, seen along roadsides, and glimpsed on vacations around the state. Because the book is specific to Wisconsin, I have confidence that my identifications are correct and that I'm not confusing the local birds with similar birds that don't actually live here; the range maps also increase confidence, as I can be sure I'm not confusing a bird with one that wouldn't be around that area and/or at that time of year. Rarely have I found such a useful and handy field guide.
