First published in 1983, this acclaimed volume now has been revised and expanded to include twenty-five Mexican species, such as the long-billed starthroat and the fork-tailed emeralds, thereby more than doubling the species coverage of the original edition. Full species-by-species accounts survey the evolutionary history, anatomical and physiological specializations, and comparative ecology, behavior, and reproductive biology of this largest family of nonpasserine birds. Individual accounts are complemented by 24 full-color paintings.Including updated range maps, identification keys, and a bibliography that has been broadened to include literature on the little-known Mexican species, the book is both accessible to amateur birders and an authoritative volume for ornithologists.

At first their cousin Suzy feels a bit jealous at having to share not only her room with Ann but her beloved horses with both her cousins. Gradually, though, as Ann more and more displays a natural gift for riding, Suzy begins to take an interest in teaching her cousin the fine points of horsemanship. Even Roddy, after first trying to run away, perks up when he's given his own pony to ride and care for. The three cousins find themselves in plenty of adventures: When a prize horse is injured in a storm, Ann decides to look after him and make him hers; the horse-napping of one of the thoroughbreds leads to unexpected consequences. But to Ann and Roddy, the most important thing is being accepted as part of their new family, something that to Ann is closely connected with her own growing love for horses and riding. It isn't until Roddy and Ann enter their first horse show that all the cousins realize the real feelings they have for each other and their beloved Hundred Horse Farm. An exciting true-to-life story by a Thoroughbred racing insider whose real-life family bred and raced Secretariat and Riva Ridge.
