Part travelogue and part celebration of family, this endearing book
will appeal to birders, nature lovers, and armchair
travelers.--GrrlScientist "Forbes "
A sweet tale of world travel and adventure.... The bonding that
happens over this father and son's shared obsession with
ornithology in this light read is the real story of the book.
Birders who may have their eye on doing a Big Year of their own, as
well as non-birders who may find the whole idea baffling but
charming, would enjoy this book about discovery and family.--Erin
H. Turner "Big Sky Journal "
Warblers & Woodpeckers is both an adventurous read and a
celebration of family, with especial appeal to armchair travelers,
nature lovers, and birding aficionados. Highly recommended.--James

For those interested in basic birdwatching, natural history,

Accompanying Sneed and Braden is a pleasure whether or not you're a
birder. And if you're not, these travels might get you
started.--Irene Wanner "The Seattle Times "
What makes this big-year book different is the father-son bonding
element . . . the picture of a teenager that emerges has the ring
of truth. A proficient storyteller, Collard writes with style about
their travels together.--Kirkus Reviews
