Portraits of Us      

Birding By the Book    

At the turn of the 20th century, people who watched birds were lucky to find one illustrated guide to bird identification.  Now a hundred years later, we have more than 100 to choose from.    The bird book business is booming - with more than 600 different bird titles on bookstore shelves and several hundred more used and out-of-print titles available on the internet.

Bring your favorite bird book(s) to the Thief River Falls Library on Monday, January 23 at 6:30 p.m. and join Agassiz Audubon's Heidi Hughes for a program on the history of bird identification books - and media - and how to select what's best for you.

She'll show you what to look for in a bird ID book and provide tips on how to build your library with books about Minnesota's birds, bird identification and bird life histories as well as books on how to attract birds.  She'll explain the good and the bad - about bird illustrations and bird books.   And she'll introduce you to birding resources on the internet.
