My brother-in-law lives in Boise and he would be happy to have that book if you have not already placed it in a good home. He has an enormous library and is a scientist and linguist, and did a Fulbright in Brazil a number of years ago training teachers how to preserve indigenous language. Growing up he spent his summers in foreign places as his father worked for Audubon society. I can put you in touch if you have not already placed it and I’m sure he would be happy to collect it.
I have a copy of Birds in Brazil in excellent condition I would like to either donate to a worthy organization or give to a birder who wants this book. Please contact me directly if you are interested or have a suggestion.
More than half of South America’s birds are found in Brazil. This book is a 700-page natural history of Brazil’s more than 1,600 avian species, originally published in 1985 by the preeminent ornithologist of Brazil, Dr. Helmut Sick. This edition was updated and translated into English in 1993. It is a scientific explanation of Brazil’s bird life rather than a birding guide, though it also contains 45 pages of very good colored illustrations.
I appreciate your help in giving this book an appreciative home.
