Bird-World Star David Allen Sibley Releases New Guide

Long-awaited second edition of legendary bird guide adds new images and species

by Ellen Gamerman

This week, David Allen Sibley released a long-awaited update to his 2000 best seller, “The Sibley Guide to Birds,” a popular field guide that helped turn him into a birding legend.

That star status counted for exactly nothing last Sunday as Mr. Sibley stood in the snow near the Concord River in central Massachusetts making pish-pish-pish sounds to lure birds from the frozen underbrush. Eventually, a chickadee popped out, took one look at him and hopped away. As he trudged back to his car, he regretted not trying to stir up more action by imitating the shriek of a wounded mouse.

It is this unpretentious approach that has won Mr. Sibley a devoted following, helping him sell more than 1.75 million copies of his various field guides. He’s studious, even on days when he can scare up little more than a small songbird. He doesn’t try to spot 700 birds a year or master every birdcall. Instead, he aims to observe a single bird for about 15 minutes—a slow pace that would frustrate enthusiasts out to spot 100 species in a day. “If there was an Olympics of birding, I wouldn’t necessarily come out on top,” he said…

The temperature is currently 50 degrees F and schools here are shutting down tomorrow because there has been a winter weather warning issued for tomorrow afternoon. I swear to God, Georgia, I'm sick of your whiney bullshit. I have 21 days until I'm going to be in the veterinary hospital day and night and I just want to cram in some LEARNS before then. I mean jesus....I paid a shitload for this schooling, least they can do is actually educate me. I feel like I am the only one upset about this. I ran to the grocery store to beef up my booze stock and I felt like I was the only one there not stockpiling for the apocalypse. Looks like it's time to get day drunk and make regrettable landscaping decisions in my Animal Crossing town....
