I am doing an upcoming weekly column on roadside birds in our tundra-like
landscape and am hoping to include a picture of a horned lark.
Anyone willing to share a high resolution pic of one of these elusive
birds, please send it to me and I will make sure to credit you if used.
Thanks.

If you purchased the Second Edition of The Sibley Guide to Birds the
publisher is replacing the book becuase of the printing problems. Call
1-800-793-2665. The lady I spoke with said they thought they would start
sending out the replacements in the next few days.
Well that’s confusing.
I called the number and the guy who answered said there is NO replacement
program.
He said there was misinformation put out on the internet the last 48 hours.
I quoted to him the statement below and he didn't have much to say other than
repeating that is incorrect.

Hi All—
A lot of folks have told me that the Sibley publisher is not replacing
books. All I can say is that they did so for me this morning. They
verified the edition of the book with the ISBN number. Perhaps they were
not expecting such a large reaction?
Sorry if I passed along bad informatio
It really did sound too good to be true.

Hi,
I called the number for Knopf's customer service given in a previous message
and spoke with a nice lady there. When I explained about the "replacement"
offer, I was told that there was no such offer. I went on to explain about the
MOU messages in which some callers had met with success an

Hi,
Sue Keator's suggestion that everyone contact the author concerning the issues
with the first printing of his guide and the "recall" by the publisher is a
great idea. I went to David Sibley's website a few minutes ago and sent a
message through his contact page. But one message is likely
This afternoon, a flock of 50-60 Snow Buntings was foraging in the farm
fields northwest of the intersection of Station Trail and 170th, at UMORE
Park. They flushed up a few times, but quickly returned to ground--and just
as quickly "disappeared" against the background. However, by aligning
