Have you gotten a look at Avian Architecture: How Birds Design, Engineer, and Build by Peter Goodfellow yet? If you’re fascinated with the ways birds design, engineer, and build their nests or ever wondered what an architectural blueprint of a nest might look like, this book is for you (check out Robert Mortensen’s glowing review). And lo and behold, our friends at Princeton University Press are giving a copy away. All you have to do to enter is “like” Princeton University Press on facebook. All fans of the Facebook site are automatically entered into this drawing and all upcoming weekly giveaways. Good luck!
Mike is a leading authority in the field of standardized test preparation, but he's also a traveler who fully expects to see every bird in the world. Besides founding 10,000 Birds in 2003, Mike has also created a number of other entertaining but now extirpated nature blog resources, particularly the Nature Blog Network and I and the Bird.
Thanks for the mention Mike! I am still enjoying studying a new chapter of this book every day. My kids also are having fun browsing through it and being amazed at the building skills of birds.
