Nature Done Wright

I am pleased to introduce "The Best of The Bird Watcher," a collection of 50 of my favorite columns in The Record and Herald News over the past decade.

The 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,

It's available as a free online e-book, complete with page-turning software, a search function that doubles as an index), and a Table of Contents that takes you to a column with one click.

The Best of The Bird Watcher" also features a foreword by Bergen County Audubon President Don Torino and a design by graphic artist Mimi Sabatino.

I will also offer — at cost — a print version of the book, in paperback and hardcover. Just beware that because of the limited nature of the print run, the book will be expensive. Memorable, but expensive.

You can view the entire e-book here.

Next Tuesday, I'll post links to the experts I interviewed for the column and links to the local photographers who provided many of the images that make the book shine. I can't thank all of them enough.
