Greetings all,
People familiar with Cornell's "Birds of the World" online resource may not
necessarily be aware of its predecessor. The "Birds of North America" was a
set of individual paper "life histories" for all the species breeding in
North America, and was written by hundreds of authors in the 1990s through
2000s. There were over 700 of these printed, and as an author on two of
them I got an entire set for free. But given the transition to the online
(and updated) "Birds of the World," plus my upcoming move, I don't have the
needs or space to keep my set. If anyone wants it I'm happy to arrange an
in-person transfer (either delivery or pick-up, not worth shipping) at NO
COST. Otherwise it'll be destined for the recycling bin, but I'd love it
to go to a new home - perhaps someone who appreciates the old pre-digital
days and wants to add this to their collection.
The total set is housed in 18 cardboard slipcases that are about a foot
tall. All lined up they occupy a horizontal space of 76 inches.
Interested parties can contact me at <boidiva63...> You have 4-5
weeks before I reach the recycling tipping point. Feel free to forward this
offer to folks in other states that might not be on the NH.Birds email list.
