July/August 2019
This issue is destined to be a keepsake. Bill Thompson, III, our beloved editor, succumbed to cancer on March 25, 2019. Read a heartfelt tribute penned by BWD columnist Julie Zickefoose. A family of quail graces the cover of this issue. Once common and frequently heard, conservation efforts are underway to help this species in steep decline. Sandpipers and plovers can be so confusing! Bird ID guru Alvaro Jaramillo offers help in studying size, shape, and structure before color to aid in identification. Also, find tips for bird watching while on an African safari. Read all this and more in our July/August issue!
