A second edition of "The Sibley Guide to Birds" will be published in March. The first edition, hugely popular, came out more than a dozen years ago. Author and artist David Allen Sibley has completely revised his first book. There are larger illustrations, more illustrations, repainted illustrations, and expanded text. The reworked paintings will show more detail. Paintings of 85 rare species will be included. The expanded text will offer conservation status, habitat information, and tips on finding birds in the field. Maps have been updated. Release date for the hardcover volume is expected to be March 11. Amazon has the book listed at its discount price of $27.79.
