Nests: Fifty Nests and the Birds That Built Them

With Christmas coming up you might be wondering what to get a "birder" spouse, relative or friend.  I picked up this great book a little while back and thought it would be great to recommend.  Sharon Beals did a fantastic job photographing and putting this book together.  It wonderfully displays 50 different nests in large color photographs and gives quite a bit of great information about each bird and the characteristics of their nest building.  You'd be surprised what kinds of things turn up in these nests.  You'll see everything from small skeletons to seashells.  I definitely give it a thumbs up for a great, inexpensive stocking stuffer or present.
