When I was a new birder, I adopted Pillar Point Harbor near Half Moon Bay as a “patch.”. According to eBird, there have been approximately 270 species seen at the hotspot that includes the harbor.

For my new book, due out in 2012 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, I’ve been researching sandhill crane hunting. Hunting sandhill cranes in Kentucky is a bad idea from a public relations standpoint, considering the growing cadre of birders and nature enthusiasts for whom cranes are a touchstone species.
