Scot, I was wondering if you have a book you would recommend that would help someone get started in birdwatching, especially the backyard variety. I want to be able to spot more than the blue parakeets!

Chaplain Mike,
That's a lob ball into the sweet spot: Roger Tory Peterson's A Field Guide to Birds East of the Rockies.

I'm not sold on twitter. I remember long ago sitting in John Stott's flat in London, listening to him talk about his love for birds. I would love to hear his thoughts on the comparisons between the songs of birds, and humans writing little "tweets" on what we are doing at the moment ...

Probably revealing my age ... :)
