I was paging through a bird book and found some sections which struck me as being rather like the titles of books.
Imagine a Ludlum novel called…
THE EMPIDONAX COMPLEX
Or a LeCarre book called…
The Accidental Flycatchers
Or an Alan Furst volume called…
Nighthawks
Or maybe something by Tom Clancy called…
Buteos Overhead
How about a Ann Coulter commentary entitled…
Loons in Flight
Maybe the vastly overrated Dan Brown could continue his inexplicable streak of high-selling stupid books with…
Pigeons and Doves
Or a Nicholas Sparks goo fest called…
Flight Patterns of Dabbling Ducks
I have a sense that this too should be a book title, but I can’t quite match it….
South Texas Specialties
Hmmmm… Maybe Vince Flynn.

A Mike Huckabee book called “Christmas Counts” but NOT referring to the usual Audubon Society bird Christmas Count period that is from December 14 – January 5.
There’s much that could be paired amusingly from birding books and sites (including regional and state ones). Even just from Wikipedia, I’d love to see some author (or government committee??) pairings for:
Feathers, plumage, and scales
Resting and roosting
Territories, nesting and incubation
Brood parasites
How about: Viscera of a pigeon
New World vultures and tubenoses
use plumage to assess and assert social dominance
Jane Austen list:
Pride and Pigeon Feathers
Marsh Harrier Park
Nuthatch Abbey
Sense and Swainson’s Thrush
Dickens:
Little Dotterel
Bleak Housewren
Dabchick and Son
Tale of Two Cettias
Great Spectacled Eiders
Our Mutual Frigatebird
Misc.
Anne of Greenland Geese
The Lord of the Ring-necks
The Hobby
Bird by bird.
“South Texas Specialties” –a cookbook!
Vince Flynn? Pursuit of Canada Geese
There is actually a book called “My Recipes Are for the Birds” with tasty concoctions for all manner of birds.
something by Tom Clancy called… Bullets and Birds!
“South Texas Specialties” by Stephen King.
@Sean: Nah … South Texas Specialties would be either by Larry McMurtry or kinky Friedman.
I like your list, Supertradmom!
Very creative!
