Perhaps you would enjoy a new book out this month, I think, by a friend of mine from San Francisco who spent weeks and weeks photgraphing nests at the Academy of Sciences and creating the most haunting photos. Her name is Sharon Beals and you can see her things at sharonbeals.com, or through audobonmagazine.org/features0803/truenature/html.I think the book is available through Amazon.
