Montgomery County Birder's Guide Reviews

A New Second Edition Guide has been published and is now available for purchase

 

The ANS Naturalist News (December–January issue) gave high praise to the first edition of the guide. "Both ‘old hands’ and…new…are going to find this storehouse of information infinitely helpful  in uncovering the rich parklands and birding resources of Montgomery County. Actually, it ought to have much wider appeal and exposure than to just the birding community."
 

"The Birder's Guide just arrived today ! It's beautiful and thorough and incredibly well done, overall. You guys should be proud. No surprise why it's selling so well. I've learned so much already just by leafing through. Michael O'Brien's drawings are beautiful and the layout's great. A triumph! as the reviewers should say. Thanks so much for sending the book and having it signed by fellow MOSers. It really, really makes me homesick and longing to explore new local birding haunts…" — from an email received from Spain...
 

The Second Edition contains several new birding areas including Blue Mash, Germantown Recreation Park and Lois Green Conservation Area.  A complete update of all Sections as well as some new 'Little Treasures' have been included.  All maps have been checked and updated. The bird species accounts and checklist for the County have been modified to reflect the changes over the past several years.

 

"We received the books yesterday, Howard. Thanks for sending them so promptly.  You all did a fantastic job on this book!  It looks great.  I've updated the ABA website with a description of the current edition.   Please share my enthusiasm with the other folks who worked on this edition.   Best regards,  Charlotte Goedsche of the American Birding Association."

 

The Guide may be ordered from Howard Lefkowitz at wa3vez@comcast.net.  It may be picked up at MBC meetings or mailed to you for a charge of $3.00.  The cost of the Guide varies depending on membership in MBC.
