For the next several weeks, I'll be contributing a weekly post at Birdingblogs.com. The informal title of this series of posts is Darwin's Other Birds. The idea is to identify particularly interesting passages from Darwin's writings and put them in an appropriate context. This week's post is an introduction to the series. Thanks to Gunnar for the interesting introduction to the Birdingblgos community!
I hope you enjoy the series, which will run every Friday. Next Friday, Darwin and the Andean Condor.
