Warblers and Wahabis

A National Guard soldier in Iraq blogs about the birds and the local ecology. Here's an audio interview with "John" from today's Weekend Edition. Follow along with this Middle East Birding Guide (Arabic language .pdf in 10 separate chapters, lots of pretty pictures).
[Note: Iraq is home to many threatened and endangered species].

John also keeps another blog; one about his military activities rather than his birding - Soldier in Iraq

He sounds like a really good guy. We wish him and his family the very best and hope that he never has to return to Iraq.
