Photographer, author Richard Crossley at Audubon meeting February 8
Crossley is from Yorkshire, England, where he lived for playing sports growing up. At age 10 he first went birding with his school teacher, Mr. Sutton. This began a lifelong affair with birding. By the age of 21 Richard had hitchhiked over 100,000 miles chasing birds across Britain and Europe. After graduating with a degree in Environmental Sciences, Richard made his first trip to the United States and fell in love with Cape May. He lives there today with his wife and two daughters. Richard will entertain us with the stories behind his newest book, “The Crossley ID Guide to Eastern Birds.” This book is designed to take a real-life approach to birding by providing both a wealth of visual information and context to the identification of each species. The story is told in a Yorkshire brogue through a camera lens that loves color and art. Many bird lovers know Crossley’s “The Shorebird Guide,” co-written with Michael O'Brien and Kevin Karlson, and they will probably be surprised by how different this book is and the impact it is sure to have on bird book design in the future. This is a new way to recognize birds. Richard will have copies of his book available for purchase and signing. . |
