Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award Winner in Nature - Montana Book Award Honor Book - Independent Publisher Book Award Winner - High Plains Book Awards Nonfiction and Big Sky Finalist Birding for Boomers is a friendly, accessible, and humorous guide to discovering the joys of bird watching.

The guide also helps birders plan everything from local explorations to exciting "bird-cations." Late-bloomer birders will appreciate Collard's personal insights and tips for overcoming aging-related challenges such as physical handicaps, poor hearing, or failing eyesight. Additional sections cover sharing birding with others and contributing to community science, habitat stewardship, and bird conservation. Appealing and light-hearted, Birding for Boomers will help a wide range of readers overcome any doubts and get started with watching, understanding, and conserving our feathered friends.
