After all, the three guides that have been published so far include New Jersey’s, written by Rick Wright ; Colorado’s, written by Ted Floyd ; and Florida’s, written by Bill Pranty.

I started the year in Florida, traveled to India with the ABA in February, combined family and birding in an August trip to California, and in-between saw very good birds in New York and New Jersey. There is no experience comparable to birding a dump, and, I have to say, I have never experienced a dump like this one.
