On A Non-Birder's Guide to Bird Field Guides, October 4, 2009
Rich & Jim, As two birders and bird photographers that I have tremendous respect & admiration for I'd like to thank you for your perspectives on these guides. I have several guides but the one I reach most often for is "The Sibley Guide to Birds". Thank you gentlemen, very well done.
On The Florida I Love, March 2, 2011
Excellent article Bill, it reminds me so much of why I still love Florida.
