There’s a slide show of a number of the book’s images at the Harvard University Press website: http://www.hup.harvard.edu/features/puregg/

Yes – it’s wonderful. There a page where she compares a Red-Winged Blackbird’s egg (photographed in sections and then opened up – Mercator, I think) with some jottings by Francis Bacon (painter, not philosopher *grin*) that is almost worth the price of the book by itself. The nests are just as good. If you have any higher-res pictures of the wire nest, I’d love electronic copies (if you don’t mind) – I’m heading down for a press meet-n-greet w/ RP and if the subject comes up, that nest is something I’d love to share w/ her.

[...] Prints from Egg & Nest are currently on display at the Harvard Museum of Natural History through March 15, and if you’re in the area, making a visit is highly recommended. (Thanks Mad Natural Historian!) [...]
