The flycatchers are the largest family of birds in the Western Hemisphere, and that passerine ("sparrowlike") family takes in a great variety of species, some 380 in all. Often called tyrants in the older literature, flycatchers, noted ornithologist Alexander Skutch argues, should more properly be thought of as tyrant chasers, for they are not shy of attacking much larger birds in defense of their nests and offspring. (The designation "tyrant," Skutch believes, comes from a taxonomic confusion by which the eastern flycatcher, the first known to European scientists, was identified as a shrike--and shrikes, of course, are "notorious for their predatory habits.") Flycatchers, Skutch writes, have even been observed defending the nests of other birds against invading snakes and raptors. Many flycatchers are remarkably beautiful, such as the streamer-tailed flycatcher of central South America and the vermilion flycatcher of Central America and the American Southwest; others are drab. Less cherished among some birdwatchers than their passerine cousins the songbirds, the largely silent flycatchers have a champion in Skutch, whose fine introduction to the family belongs in the complete birder's library. --Gregory McNamee

Skutch is the bird god........1998-10-03
Alexander Skutch is THE authority on tropical and neotropical birds. This whole series is amazing, but my two favorites are Flycatchers and Woodpeckers. This book is an excellent guide to flycatchers. The plates are beautiful, Skutch's writing, as always, is great. I can't believe they have it here for $!

Customer Reviews:
A Treasure to Last a Lifetime.......2007-07-24
About two weeks before my son's wedding, I found this lovely memory book online. Fortunately it was shipped to me quickly and I began to write my memories, my thoughts, and my feelings in it. This became a journey through time and was a very emotional and touching experience. The book not only is beautifully illustrated with words and pictures, it also contains many different writing prompts so that I could share information and moving stories about my parents, about my husband's parents, about my childhood and teenage years leading up to how I met my husband, our wedding, then the special moment when our son was born, his childhood and younger years, then his teenage years and young adulthood leading up to the moment he met the young woman he married and his wedding. The book offers pages for stories of what happened through the years, but also many places to express how I felt - about my life, about my son, about the experiences we shared. Some examples are: My dreams for you, how we are alike and how we are different, what you did that made me laugh, what I wish I had told you and never did. There are also plenty of pages to write about family history. Be prepared to feel all of your emotions come to the surface as you write, to shed some tears, to have your heart touched deeply - and when this special gift is presented to your child, it will be one of the most tender moments of your life. This is more than a book. It is a journey through time and a sharing of what is hidden deep in your heart. And it is a treasure that will last a lifetime.
A nice memory for your child.......2007-06-28
A great way to preserve memories for your child. It was nice writing down so many stories of my husband and myself. I wish I had one of my parents.

To My Son with Love: A Mother's Memory Book.......2005-09-27
This is the second time I've purchased this book. The first copy I kept for myself, although I have no children. It's such a treasure. The artwork is beautiful, and the quotations inspiring. I have purchased three copies of this author's book for daughters, one for myself, of course! I only wish the books were for both parents and not specifically the mother. But other than that, I think this makes a wonderful gift and keepsake for anyone. It's so much more than another "baby book."
A Mother's Memory book for her son.......2004-10-13

Here are a few of the memories you will record for your son: About our Family, Those Before Us - Your Grandparents, I Remember - family traditions, Memories of the Past, Family Talents & acheievements, Special relationships, and grandpa's Wisdom. There is a section on memories and information for your the Mother of your child all about growing up, When You Where Young, Boys, Your Dad and I and Then There Was You. And finally, information on your son from the Moment I First Held You, Toddler Years, Boys Will Be Boys - Ways You Drove Me Nuts, Your Favorite Food, My Son, My Friend, All Grown Up, Love of Your Life, Your Wedding Day, How You Changed My Life, and our Special Relationship and many more wonderful things to record for your child.
What a beautiful gift, worth more than all the treasures in the world is knowing how much you where loved, adore, information on your Mother.. especially when your son realizes you wheren't always a Mommy!
Donna Green is such a talented artist!
Book Description
In TO MY SON, WITH LOVE Susan writes about the deepest feelings of all parents as she shares her wisdom and her common sense, her knowledge and her intuitiveness, her values and her beliefs. She boldly encourages her sons not to hide their feelings and emotions. She teaches them that they must choose their own paths and make their dreams come true. She quietly stands alongside her sons with unconditional love, acceptance, and appreciation, and proudly watches them grow.
Stephen Schutz successfully translates the beauty of his love for his wife and his sons into a frame of artistic genius surrounding Susan's words. His sensitive, mystical paintings add a visual realm of color and warmth to Susan's poetry, and, once again, this talented couple gives us yet another journey into the depths of our beings, opening our hearts to feel the beauty, the joy, and the love of life that is in all of us.
TO MY SON, WITH LOVE supports parenthood and extols sonship. Susan eloquently expresses the mother-son relationship, and she creates an idealistic but very realizable blueprint for joyous associations and family living.
When Susan and Stephen's previous book, TO MY DAUGHTER, WITH LOVE, ON THE IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE, was published, mothers and fathers of daughters from across the land sent happy letters of thanks, and this book quickly became a classic. Many of these people also said in their letters, "Please write a book like this for our sons." Susan did, and every son who receives this book is really receiving a celebration of love.
Susan expresses the words of every mother and father as she writes to her sons, "You can always depend on me for complete and absolute understanding, support and love forever."
Book Description

Their secret romance is perfect until his mother finds out...Keesha learns that sometimes it's better to have never known love at all than love the wrong man!
Customer Reviews:
A Love Triangle.......2006-04-07
Keesha Smalls is a 35 year-old financial planner. She has done well for herself but has not been involved with anyone for a while due to a pass hurt. But every time she runs into her neighbor's son, the sexual attraction is undeniable! But how can she go there? First off...he is way too young. Second...He is her good friend's son! Is she willing to risk a good friendship?
.
Keesha's friend and neighbor Christine, has a 21year-old Son named Chris Walker. Christine, although a little over-protective of her son, has taught him not to be afraid to go after what he wants and be successful at it.
Chris has been a model son and student. He is now working his way up in a prestigious investment-banking firm. At 21 he is mature, smart and sexy and he's had his eyes on his mother's friend for years. Now he's established a decent career that has him living well, he wants to follow his heart and reach out to Keesha and show her the love he's had for her all this time is real.
Jamal is a successful GYN doctor who has been in love with Keesha ever since they were in school together. With her best friend Ebony being the instigator, Jamal gets a chance to prove to Keesha that he can be the best husband and lover she could ever want. But will she give him the chance?
Michelle Tanner is Chris's ex girlfriend who can't seem to accept that her relationship with Chris is truly over. She is obsessed with getting Chris back, so much so that she's willing to use the oldest trick in the book!
An explosive story filled with love, lust, deceit, jealousy and murder, dripping from each page. Take a trip to Long Island New York, and meet these interesting characters. Read about a triangle of love and deceit that catches a fire and explodes by the end of the story.
A few things that some of the characters did had me wondering if their head was screwed on straight and Chris's last name kept changing from Chris Walker to Chris Warner. But I enjoyed the plot and the surprising twists that make this book a great read.

STAR RATING****4.0
Excellent Plot, just very unbelievable at times.......2005-06-08
Hope Clark, author of a long list of novels such as Vengeance is Mine, Carrying Momma's Baggage, and Shadow Lover, to name a few, has sparked an interest to our book club for quite a while now. After months of thinking and thinking, we decided to close our eyes and choose one.
NOT WITH MY SON captivated our members with its many suspenseful twists and turns. Yet, at the same time, threw us aback with its fairytale scenes from time to time.
I won't spoil this read for anyone debating on picking this book up, but I will say this is for you if you're looking for a page turner.
Keesha Smalls is thirty-five and in love with her best friend's son, twenty-one year old Chris Walker. This lost me, not because of the age difference, but because of the reasoning behind her interest in Chris. True, he was successful, handsome, but so was she! What was it about Chris that Keesha just couldn't get a grip on? The author should have made this more clearer. Instead, Chris comes over one day, confesses his feelings toward Keesha (he's just as in love with her as she is with him), then next thing you know he's hammering her (as the author puts it). I don't know if I'd be so quick to believe that. I would have liked to have seen more of a relationship forming between them before sex came into play.
Keesha takes a trip to California where she visits one of her girlfriends who makes her presence known to Jamal, another successful man - this one, a doctor who also has been longing for Keesha, only Jamal is more her age.
Keesha and Jamal get it on in California and when she leaves, she leaves with an engagement ring. I understand this is fiction, but come on! Jamal is a doctor who delivers babies, yet he makes irresponsible choices like having sex with a woman he hasn't seen in years and falls deeply in love with her? (Scratching my head)
There are other events throughout the book that makes you stop and shake your head in disbelief, like the anger Chris' mother has toward her friend, Keesha ALL BECAUSE SHE TAKES INTEREST IN HER SON! I couldn't see where the logic was here. However, overall this still makes for a good read due to the drama, suspense, and series of torments that Keesha has to go through all because of Chris.
Hope Clark has many titles under her belt, all that will definitely be read by our book club members. Readers will not be disappointed with her novel NOT WITH MY SON, just be prepared to occasionally raise a brow at the shallow characters from time to time.

Wonderful book of mom's expressive love for all.......2007-02-16
I actually bought this board book for my son (and there is one for daughters too. He is 30 and she is 28, but they could be a baby and a 2 year old. It tells how many hearts mom loves you with, doing laundry, taking you places, tucking you in at bed. I think it is a very good for reminder for all aged "children" that the hard work mom's do for their children is a dedicated and marvelous act of love.
