Richard Crossley: Where to go Birding?

This spring, Richard Crossley is releasing a really interesting new bird guide, based on photoshopping multiple images of the same species into one meta-image. The result will be a plate that shows how the bird looks in different settings (in flight, perched, large flocks, etc). In anticipation of the release, Princeton University Press has been posting a couple short videos he has been making about birding. Enjoy!

I am a young ornithologist originally from PA but now living in central New York. I am pursuing a master's degree at Penn State University studying grassland birds and their relationships with different agricultural practices. When I am not working feverishly on my thesis, I enjoy adding new birds to my county, state and life lists, digiscoping and getting outdoors. I am active in the Pennsylvania birding community as chairman of the bird records committee, as well as a reviewer for sightings submitted to eBird. Some topics that really interest me are migration, bird distributions and vagrancy. Contact me if you have any questions about birds and birding in PA.
