I was happy to see that the Resources section in the back of the book covers web sites and books on birds, photography techniques and computer tools programs not covered in the book (like Photoshop), and nature photography forums. In other words, if you value this type of bird photography, it is most probably worth it.

After Corey shared his story of his hedgehog experience in Hungary I thought you may like to see some rather adorable pictures of a young European Hedgehog in England. It appears that hedgehog numbers in the UK have dropped by 25% in the last 10 years , so every hedgehog that can be saved is extremely worthwhile.

Because I am relatively new to birding, this resource proved to be invaluable.

It’s the warbler that is often the last unchecked species on birders’ life lists and, whether you list or not, for most of us observing it is a once in a lifetime experience.

Many birders keep personal birding lists or life lists, documenting the species they have seen throughout their birding experiences. Birders who embark on a big year often dedicate a significant amount of time, effort, and resources to travel to different habitats, explore various locations, and encounter a wide range of bird species.

There are a few spectacles in the birding community that are high energy, happen quickly, and is worth any effort to experience it.
