The May 29 issue of The New Yorker contains A Reporter at Large article titled "Ruffled Feathers" by John Seabrook. It uncovers the biggest scandal in the bird world. It touches on Pamela Rasmussen's monumental book, "Birds of South Asia: The Ripley Guide" which was originated by S. Dillon Ripley, a grand old man of American ornithology, and on the theft and data falsification of a British ornithologist named Colonel Richard Meinertzhagen. I found the piece exceedingly well-done, an interesting read and something I think all would enjoy, especially on one of those days when the mosquitoes are ready to do battle.
