When Wolf set out to photograph as many birds as she could in the brand-new park, she found more than 100 species: orioles, thrushes, warblers, wrens, and some that are extremely rare to the region. Birding at the Bridge captures every?exciting sighting, with seasonal tips on where park-goers are most likely to spot each bird. This practical guide and inspiring story will start city dwellers everywhere on their own birding expeditions!
