“The early birder gets the birds–have you seen anything good today?”
PENN'S WOODS
A Romantic View
Pennsylvania has played a very large part in our national history. But it has a great natural history to be examined also. In my book, I have tried to combine the two, focusing mainly on the human history and the natural history of the Wyoming Valley and of Northeastern Pennsylvania. In regard to natural history, my book emphasizes the birds I have observed in my experiences, which I hope will be of interest to those who love the birds and who love watching them.

Author
I was born on August 4, 1944 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania where I grew up observing the birds and the wildlife around my home, while attending the local public schools. Later I served four years in the United States Air Force, during which I spent two years at Kadena Air Force Base on the island of Okinawa. After returning home from Okinawa and getting discharged from the Air Force, I attended Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre and earned a bachelor of arts degree in English. During my adult life, I have traveled extensively across Pennsylvania, and have visited more than a hundred state parks, scenic areas, and historical sites within the state. Currently, I am living in retirement in Wilkes-Barre, and spend a lot of my time writing and birdwatching in the Wyoming Valley.
