Another upcoming Gull Book

[Nathan Dias <diasn@yahoo.com>]

Hi folks.

Another good gull book to watch for is one Steve
Howell is working on.  It's a (photo-based) guide to
the gulls of North and South America.  I seem to
remember that Jon Dunn is helping with it.

I'm not sure when it's coming out, but Steve was
telling me about it last September so presumably it
won't be too much longer.
