Advanced Praise

“Birds of Berkeley is more than an identification guide. It takes us beyond the who’s who to why we care. Learn how to think about birds in a way that will deepen your love of feathered things.” 

—  John Muir Laws, author of The Laws Field Guide to the Sierra Nevada

“Imagine a Berkeley boy-hatchling, raised by birds, grows up to write about his favorite feathered friends in the neighborhood. That’s pretty much the essence of this charming volume by local Oliver James.”

— Cindy Margulis, executive director, Golden Gate Audubon Society
