An avid birder, his expertise is apparent in page after page of information packed introductions to the birding hotspots that grace the shores, fields, and woodlands of New Brunswick. He is also the author of several birding “bibles,” including A Birdwatcher’s Guide to Atlantic Canada and Birds of Atlantic Canada as well as Birds of Oregon, Birds of New England, Birds of Pennsylvania, andBirds of the Great Plains.
