About the Author
Author and nature writer Jerry Uhlman is an inveterate traveler and birding adventurer who has journeyed to many of the legendary hotspots across North America-the Texas gulfcoast and the Rio Grande Valley, Southern Arizona and the Nevada desert, Maine and Canada's Maritime Provinces, the prairie grasslands of the Midwest, California, Florida and the Delaware coast. An escapee from endless workdays in healthcare administration, he now indulges his passion for birds and wayfaring with an unbridled enthusiasm that approaches hedonism.
His nature and travel articles have appeared in Winging It, Camping Life, Outdoors Unlimited, Woodall's CamperWays, Birder's World, Living Bird, Birding, American Bird Watcher, Western Birder and Naturalist and Refuge Reporter magazines.
Uhlman recently received the Virginia Writer's Club 2000 Short Story Award for "Bart and Clara's Backyard Tryst" in this volume. He currently writes the popular birding column "Flyways and Byways" that appears in The Richmond Times-Dispatch, and is the author of A Birder's Guide to Metropolitan Richmond.
