"The Best of The Bird Watcher" is my new collection of 50 of my favorite columns in The Record and Herald News over the past decade.

The free online e-book offers columns on memorable birds — from American Woodcock to backyard beauties. It also features great places — from the Meadowlands and Garret Mountain to Doodletown and Olana.

The Best of The Bird Watcher" includes the expertise of many of the great birders I've interviewed over the past 10 years. And it includes photos by some of my favorite local nature photographers,
