Hi all, Picked this up from TexBirds (I'm off to the Rio Grande Valley in January!): ============================================ Subject: new Nat'l Geo Field Guide From: klbradley Date: Wed, 16 Dec 1998 13:29:13 -0600 I just got a mailing from the National Geographic Society to order the new Third Edition NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC FIELD GUIDE TO THE BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA. It says "Completely revised and updated." They've added 75 new species. Also has lots of new plates by new artists, from what I can tell, with more detail on different plumages, etc. It's 19.95 for softcover and 24.95 for hardcover plus S&H. They start shipping in May '99. Thought I'd pass it on. Karen Bradley Cypress, Tx HAS =========================================== Lou Shomette Columbia, MD
