Mail delivery today brought a book I ordered on Amazon , Birds of Solomons, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia. It was four times the price I've ever paid for a field manual and I almost didn't get it. But then I remembered how much I had enjoyed identifying the unique birds in Africa. This was only possible because some kindly former tenent left a field manual behind in our house. I love identifying birds new to me…I'm not very good at it, but love the thrill of discovery. Wish I could smuggle my friend, Laura, along with me. She's not only good company, but is rather talented at bird identification.
Update: 20-March-2010
I found a great website on Vanuatu birds http://www.positiveearth.org/vanbirds . Now I'm anticipating Vanuatu bird watching even more!
