The State of North America's Birds of Prey

Editor: Keith L. Bildstein, Jeff P. Smith, Ernesto Ruelas Inzuna, and Richard R. Veit

Nuttall Ornithological Club / American Ornithologists' Union

2008

"Written by 22 of the hemisphere's best-known raptor migration specialists, the book includes a brief history of raptor conservation in North America, the principles and methods for the use of migration counts to determine population trends, regional overviews of trends in migration counts, a report on the conservation status of 20 species of birds of prey, a description of the data management system, and recommendations for the operation of raptor migration monitoring sites. The book is scientifically rigorous and quite technical. Most serious students of raptor and bird populations will likely want this ground-breaking report, which may have limited appeal for the casual hawk watcher."

California Condors in the 21st Century

Editor: Allan Mee and Linnea S Hall

Nuttall Ornithological Club / American Ornithologists' Union

2007

"The California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus) has long remained an enigma, disappearing for 15 years before reintroductions began in 1992. Here, the authors document efforts to re-establish viable populations of Condors in the wild, providing the most comprehensive and expert analysis of the species' status up to the end of 2005. Several chapters are devoted to the most pervasive limiting factor, lead poisoning, while the others investigate reasons for poor nest success of Condor populations; population genetics; captive rearing; and critical reviews of the successes and failures of the recovery effort. This volume is likely to become the major reference handbook on Condor biology, and will act as a blueprint for future conservation efforts for the Condor and other critically endangered bird species."

Birds of the Aleutian Islands, Alaska

Daniel D. Gibson and G. Vernon Byrd

Nuttall Ornithological Club / American Ornithologists' Union

2007

"The Aleutian Islands provide nesting sites for millions of seabirds and landfall for a broad spectrum of intercontinental and transoceanic migrants. In Birds of the Aleutian Islands, authors Gibson and Byrd provide an up-to-date scholarly analysis and discussion of avian distributions and occurrence in this remote archipelago at the beginning of the 21st century. They include an inventory of archived avian specimens, references to published and archived photographs, a list of species reported from but not substantiated in the Aleutians, a gazetteer of Aleutian islands, and colour photos illustrating habitats and endemic taxa. This volume has been described as one of the most significant books ever published on Alaska's birds, and it will be the major scientific resource for future avian research in northeastern Asia, northwestern North America, and the North Pacific."
