The information in either of the downloadable files below is excerpted with permission from A Birder’s Guide to Washington, by Hal Opperman. This book, published in 2003 by the American Birding Association, is one volume of the ABA’s Birdfinding Guide Series.

Paulson” but by the year 2000 “the realization dawned that we [author and publisher] were embarked not on a makeover but on an essentially new book.”
