‘Birding: The Best Posts’ is a roundup of the posts on my blog that I have written over the past ten years. There is a ton of information on this blog. Sometimes it is hard to find. I often stumble upon a forgotten post and am delighted I wrote on the topic.
There is a little bit for everyone from new birders to advanced birders who want to learn about bird behavior and sharpen their birding skills.
