Pete Dunne on Bird Watching

The best practices for a lifetime of birding pleasure from Pete Dunne, the man the Wall Street Journal called “the bard of birding”

Pete Dunne has taught birding to beginners for years, but he has never found the right book to help them get started. Now the popular birding author identifies the skills and tools available to people with any amount of interest, great or small, in bird watching.

Beginning with backyard birding and moving through a quick but comprehensive survey of tools of the trade, Dunne outlines ten basic, simple steps in bird identification that can make a birder out of the most casual of observes. He goes on to show beginning birders how to use their skills to explore new horizons through birding by ear, birding by telescope, and finding and identifying rare or difficult birds. Written in the lively, authoritative style that has made Dunne one of the most popular writers in this field today, Pete Dunne on Bird Watching will inspire in readers both a growing passion for birding and a lifelong respect for the natural world and its inhabitants.

PETE DUNNE is the author of seven books. Including Hawks in Flight, The Wind Masters, The Feather Quest, and Tales of a low-Rent Birder. Vice President of the New Jersey Audubon Society and director of its Cape May Bird Observatory, he has written columns and articles for virtually every birding magazine and for the New York Times.
