Kathryn Schneider will present “Birding the Hudson Valley”
KATHRYN J. SCHNEIDER, a Hudson Valley native, has spent decades
studying the behavior, ecology, and distribution of birds. An award-winning
author, teacher, and conservationist, she is a past president of the New York
State Ornithological Association.
Kathryn will describe her recent book "Birding the Hudson Valley",
which provides encouragement for bird enthusiasts to expand their horizons.
Although an estimated four hundred thousand Hudson Valley residents
feed, observe, or photograph birds, the vast majority of New Yorkers enjoy
their birdwatching activities mostly around the home. More than just a
collection of bird-finding tips, this book explores Hudson Valley history,
ecology, bird biology, and tourism. It describes sites in every county in the
region, including farms, grasslands, old fields, wetlands, orchards, city
parks, rocky summits, forests, rivers, lakes, and salt marshes.
Designed for birders of all levels of skill and interest, this
beautifully illustrated book contains explicit directions to more than eighty
locations, as well as useful species accounts and hints for finding the
valley’s most sought-after birds.
Signed copies of Kathryn’s book will be available for sale after the
meeting.
Hope to see you Wednesday!
