I was asked to review a recently published guidebook, Kristen Hine’s “Birds of Florida.” The guide works, for a couple of easily overlooked reasons. Foremost, it emphasizes habitat. The best way to find birds is to know where to look. Secondly, the book is concise. It covers the basics of identifying each bird, while resisting the temptation to over-describe it. It’s the kind of guide that a Mainer might find useful during a Florida vacation this winter. ~ Bob Duchesne
