Praise for this book
"Pete is arguably North America's best and best-known birder, and he's also a terrific writer. If you've never had a chance to bird with Pete, this is the next best thing. It's like picking his brain on the topics he knows best - optics, field guides, birding tours, birding etiquette, birding by ear, and much more." - Scott Shalaway, syndicated nature columnist
"Demystifies birding." - Audubon Naturalist News
"If you want to expand your interest in birds, Dunne can help. His book makes all other birding books more useful."

"The recently published second edition of "Pete Dunne on Bird Watching" allows anyone--beginning birders, especially--to find in Pete...an expert who shares his knowledge generously and with flare and wit. The new edition has been described as a 'director's cut' of the 2003 original book, featuring all-new material and revisions and updates throughout."--Matt Mendenhall"BirdWatchingDaily.com" (10/20/2015)
