Warblers are the archetypal "little brown birds" that pose so many identification problems for birdwatchers. These problems are sometimes complicated by the fact that not all warblers are brown and small; some are brightly colored and relatively large. Jeff Baker helps novices and experts alike to steer away from such confusion in a unique book covering all old world warblers in Europe and Asia. The book describes in detail 145 species, including all aspects of identification and those species t...1 point

The tanagers of the Western Hemisphere, write ornithologists Morton and Phyllis Isler, belong to a rather fluid category of birds known as the "nine-primaried oscines," songbirds whose tiny outermost wing primary is concealed. That category includes many kinds of birds--cardinals, buntings, and warblers among them--and, the Islers suggest, the old taxonomies simply will not do. Even so, for the time being tanagers enjoy separate status as a monophyletic group, and one interesting enough to warra...0 points
