Birds of Virginia's Mountains

I found the book Birds of Shenandoah National Park: A Naturalist's Viewbook cover at the library. This book by Terry and Patressa Lindsay features photos by Rob Simpson who teaches wildlife photography at Lord Fairfax Community College in Middletown, Virginia. (The actual book cover is in color, as are the many photos inside.)

I took one of Professor Simpson's courses last year and found it challenging, even though I have taken numerous photography courses at Northern Virginia Community College. Simpson's classes require some sophisticated equipment and extensive field work. But they are worthwhile if you have the time and energy and want to take better pictures of wildlife.
