You have to admit that I've hit a record on the pages/day rate with this one. Even Thinking Fast and Slow went more quickly than this one overall. (Thinking =481 pages/137 days = 3.51 pages/day, Birding = 149 pages/67 days = 2.22 pages/day)
The difference is that I've been studying this one. You could read this book straight through in fairly short order. But it's more interesting to read it chapter by chapter, spending some time observing after each one. For example after reading "Using behavioural clues", it was interesting to observe the way that finches tend to stay and eat at the feeder while other birds like chickadees consistently dart in and out. When you're trying to figure out if that yellow bird in the treetop is a goldfinch or a warbler, that could be a valuable clue. The one that's flitting about is unlikely to be a goldfinch.
