Here from his upstate New York base where he is senior scientist for the Boreal Songbird Initiative and visiting fellow at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology is Jeffrey Wells. His beautiful and important new book, Birder's Conservation Handbook: 100 North American Birds at Risk (Princeton University) is both an illustrated, detailed field guide and a call to action. "Simply admiring birds isn’t enough—birders everywhere need to be actively engaged in preserving them, and Birder's Conservation Handbook gives them the knowledge and the tools to do just that. Jeff Wells has done a remarkable job of assembling the most up to date information on one hundred of North America's most imperiled species and of providing a road map for how the average birder can work for their protection. This book is a gold mine." – Scott Weidensaul. Jeffrey Wells is also former director of bird conservation for the National Audubon Society.
