ANNOUNCING: Birds of Rockland County, NY and the Hudson Highlands, 1844-1976 (with 1983 Addenda)
by Robert F. Deed
In honor of Rockland Audubon Society's 60th Anniversary, we are reprinting this historical work by Robert F. Deed. It summarizes the occurrence of over 300 bird species in Rockland County, incorporating Mr. Deed's personal observations made from the late 1920's through 1983. This document chronicles the tremendous changes that have taken place within Rockland's avian community.
The text has been entirely re-set and photographs are included. Otherwise, the original document is intact. To keep the purchase price low, the document will be issued on CD-ROM. You can see a small low resolution, example below.

The target release date is late 2007.
*** Photographers ***
RAS is looking for additional photographs for this document. If we use one or more of your photographs, you will receive prominent credit and a free copy of "Birds of Rockland County". As we have limited funds for purchasing photographs, preference will be given to donations. Here is a list of our current photo needs: List of Photographic Needs.
We are looking for digital images of at least 1215 × 810 pixels (6.75" × 4.5"), at 180 p/i. (jpg format is preferable, but we can convert from other formats). We can also scan 35 mm slides or prints and return the originals to you. Photos should show the salient characteristics of the species.
Please contact Alan Wells at the e-mail address below if you wish to submit photos. Designate clearly if you are offering photos for sale or for donation. If offering for sale, please include the price.
