Good Birders Still Don't Wear White: Passionate Birders Share the Joy of Watching Birds

<DIV><B>Avid North American birders share wit, wisdom, advice, and what fuels their passion for birds.</B><BR /><BR />Birding gets you outside, helps you de-stress, exercises your body and mind, puts your day-to-day problems in perspective, and can be lots of fun. Birders know this, and in this collection of thirty-seven brief essays, birders from diverse backgrounds share their sense of wonder, joy, and purpose about their passion (and sometimes obsession).<BR /><BR />From the Pacific Ocean to Central Park, from the rainforest in Panama to suburban backyards-no matter what their habitat, what good birders have in common is a curiosity about the natural world and a desire to share it with others. In these delightful essays, each accompanied by an endearing drawing, devoted birders reveal their passion to be fulfilling, joyful, exhilarating, and maybe even contagious.<BR /><BR />Contributors include many well-known birders, such as Richard Crossley, Pete Dunne, Kenn Kaufman, Michael O'Brien, Bill Thompson, and Julie Zickefoose.<BR /><BR />A portion of the proceeds goes to the American Birding Association, North America's largest membership organization for active birders.</DIV>
