<div dir="ltr">Hi Denis,</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Funny that you are getting rid of your old Bent books…I finally completed my own set just recently. I certainly don’t refer to them often, but I find out interesting things when I do. These days when I look at my over-filled shelves, I have to
ask myself, is this book old and useful and cool, or just old? I guess I still find Bent useful.<span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I hope all is well with you. I enjoy your Tweeters reports. Right now, Joseph and I are in Norway. Joseph is fishing for Atlantic salmon, and I am birding. I have seen a few new species, with Black Woodpecker, my most-desired world bird, at the
top of the list. I was paging through my field guide yesterday and remembered you telling me about seeing Eleonora’s Falcon. It’s funny what one remembers!<span></span></div>

<p class="x_x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif; color:#202122">I have a complete collection of the Dover reprint of the Arthur Cleveland Bent Life Histories of North American Birds (see below, which indicates the original publication
date by the Smithsonian Institution). All are in very good to excellent condition, and some have never been opened. I purchased several of these from the Scottish Ornithologists Club while living in Scotland, and some have been printed in the UK and some in
Canada. All these volumes may be viewed online through various sources; however, these are printed works.</span></p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif; color:#202122"> </span></p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif; color:#202122">Before I put the series for sale on eBay or Craig’s list, I’d entertain a monetary offer for the complete set from anyone in the Tweeters community. As a small bonus, I’d
include the Dover reprint of Andrew J. Berger’s “Bird Study.” If you’re interested, please contact me offline at my birding email address: avnacrs4birds @ outlook.com (without the spaces (<:) ).</span></p>

<p class="x_x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif; color:#202122">Note: I also have the original published version (1937-38) (NOT Dover reprint) of the A.C. Bent two-volume “Life Histories of North American Birds of Prey,” which I’m considering
parting with eventually.</span></p>
