RSS 2.0A Birder’s Guide to Metropolitan Richmond
Second Edition, Revised and Updated
By Jerry Uhlman
A Birder’s Guide to Metropolitan Richmond, the area’s premier handbook of local birding hotspots, has been updated and expanded with a dozen new sites.
The new 2008 edition guides wildlife-watchers through more than 50 local birding hotspots within about an hour’s drive from Richmond and recommends trails, names birds likely to be found, and gives easy-to-follow directions to find each site. It also includes an up-to-date bird checklist for central Virginia.
Author and nature writer Jerry Uhlman is an inveterate traveler who has trekked through North America’s Arctic tundra, southwest deserts, prairie grasslands, boreal forests and swampy pocosin wetlands in search of adventure and avian specialties. Wanderlust and curiosity about birdlife have taken him to Costa Rica, Mexico, Trinidad & Tobago, Panama, Ecuador, Russia, Spain, northern India, and West Africa’s Ivory Coast.
He writes a popular nature column for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, called “Flyways & Byways”, that appears the third Thursday of each month in the Explore Section. Tales of his adventures have appeared in popular birding magazines, including the ABA’s Birding and Winging It, Bird Watcher’s Digest, Birder’s World, WildBird, Living Bird and the National Geographic BirdWatcher.
