Life Along the Delaware Bay: Cape May, Gateway to a Million Shorebirds , by Lawrence Niles, Joanna Burger, and Amanda Dey, is a book with a mission. Be careful or you may end up caring deeply about the Delaware Bay and being convinced that this is a significant area we should all work to repair and preserve.

I haven’t even been to all of the best national wildlife refuges for birding. I mention these trips because, along with other trips and experiences closer to home, they inform my research into my future birding travel. I particularly enjoy birding national wildlife refuges, so I try to include at least one on each trip.
