I...Hi again Phil: The book exceeds my expectations. It is quite fabulous. I am amazed how many of the other works shown in the schematics and referred to in the text I have on my shelves. Also, I was almost moved to tears when reading about the work of Fitzpatrick and Wolfenden with Florida Scrub Jays. I once spent an entire afternoon with Glen Wolfenden at the Archbold Research Centre near Venus, Florida and he gave me a concise course on the ethology of the species. He was a very gracious man. He passed away a couple of years ago. I can only say once again, thanks so much for a fine review of this book.David M.
