The Nighthawk's Evening: Notes of a Field Biologist
by Newberry, Gretchen N.       
(Paperback - English - 9780870711503)
In her late thirties, Gretchen Newberry left her office job in Portland, Oregon, to become a wildlife biologist studying nighthawks. The common nighthawk, Chordeiles minor, has long fascinated birders, scientists, farmers, and anyone who has awoken to its raspy calls on a hot city night. In The Nighthawk's Evening, Newberry charts her journey across North America to study these birds, from the islands of British Columbia to rooftops in South Dakota, Oregon sagebrush, and Wisconsin forests.

Halcyon Journey: In Search of the Belted Kingfisher
by Richie, Marina    Papish, Ram   
(Paperback - English - 9780870712036)
More than one hundred species of kingfishers brighten every continent but Antarctica. Not all are fishing birds.

This first book to feature North America's belted kingfisher is a lyrical story of observation, revelation, and curiosity in the presence of flowing waters. The kingfisher--also known as the halcyon bird--is linked to the mythic origin of halcyon days, a state of happiness that Marina Richie hopes to find outside her back door in Missoula, Montana. Epiphanies and a citizen science discovery punctuate days tracking a bird that outwits at every turn. The fema ..
