Podcast appearances and mentions of David Sibley

David Sibley, creator and illustrator of The Sibley Guide to Birds, offers this advice for people learning to identify birds: “Spend time at home, paging through the field guide . . . by flipping through the pages of the book and looking at pictures and reading the names, you'll start to get a sense of what those birds are . . . It doesn't have to be about seeing a lot of different species, but more about getting to know the birds that are common in your neighborhood or in your yard.”More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

David Sibley hardly needs an introduction to birders in North America, and his Sibley Guide to Birds is on the shelves of nearly every bird-curious person on the continent. He's also a frequent collaborator with the Dean of Cape May, Pete Dunne, and their latest project, The Courage of Birds, written by Pete and illustrated by David, is out at the end of October. He joins us to talk about winter birding, Cape May in the old days, and how art has changed in the age of photographs.  Also, California Condors are moving north, and that's pretty exciting.
