It's hard to overstate the influence The Sibley Guide to Birds has had since its publication in 2000. It's like the Cook's Illustrated of the birding world, a reference book with near-moral authority. Now David Allen Sibley has updated his masterpiece, adding 111 bird species, enlarging maps, brightening images and adding new treats here and there, like a section titled "Owling," which helps owl fans find their quarry without disturbing the birds. He talks tonight at Bookshop Santa Cruz about birds, birding, illustrating and the natural world.
David Sibley at Bookshop Santa Cruz, 1520 Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz. 7:30pm. Free.
