Updated ‘Birds of the Lehigh Valley’ guide features 371 species
The Audubon Society’s revised 216-page field guide documents 371 bird species in the Lehigh Valley, noting rare brown booby sightings in Hellertown and Easton and population gains for purple martins tied to conservation work.
When Peter Saenger finished working on the second edition of “Birds of the Lehigh Valley and Vicinity” in 2014, he told his co-authors, Barbara Malt and Kevin Crilley, that he would likely never do another edition since the project required so much work.
