I look back into my Birds of North America, A Golden Field Guide (Copyright 1966), and notice that I started listing birds in the guide a while back in the 70's. It wasn't until 1992, when my friend Steve asked me if I wanted to go birding with him in White Plains, that I became interested again. After that one day, I was hooked.
My name is Jack Rothman. If you walk around Pelham Bay Park and its environs you might have seen me, I'm the guy with the binoculars. I have lived and worked in this area of the Bronx my entire life and have spent a great deal of time observing and learning about the birds in Pelham Bay Park during the last decade or so. I have always felt that this area of the Bronx has been largely neglected by the birding community, hence www.cityislandbirds.com.
So, what does a guy from the Bronx know about birds?
Not enough, but I'm learning!
Please feel free to contact me concerning this website and any information you can share about birding here.
