By acting simultaneously as a guided logbook and an instructional field diary, the journal encourages birdwatchers to slow down, build their personal \"life lists,\" and more deeply connect with the wildlife thriving right in their backyards or across regional flyways.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eABOUT BOB WALDON: Robert Neill \"Bob\" Waldon (1932–2020) was a prominent Canadian naturalist, author, and public relations professional who dedicated his life to environmental education. Born in Killarney, Manitoba, Waldon grew up with a deep passion for the wilderness, later starting his career in newspaper journalism before co-founding a public relations firm in Winnipeg. By the mid-1980s, he shifted his career entirely toward conservation, serving as the President of both the Nature Manitoba society and the Canadian Nature Federation, while also spending five years working as an interpretive park naturalist at Riding Mountain National Park. During this period, he became a highly regarded avian expert and authored five regional best-selling guides on attracting and feeding winter birds across Canada and the Pacific Northwest, alongside editing specialty works like The Birder's Journal. After spending 18 years exploring marine life and West Coast culture in Alert Bay, British Columbia, Waldon returned to his roots along Manitoba's Pembina River, leaving a lasting legacy as a compelling voice for Canadian wildlife conservation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFor more info on this Author and book, please see: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/naturemanitoba.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bob.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eA Tribute to Bob Waldon, a Great Naturalist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAn EXCELLENT gift idea, with free gift-wrapping available and free delivery in Comox, Courtenay and Cumberland, BC., and anywhere else in Canada for $20 shipping via courier, tracked and insured.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eISBN: 9781551107732  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eGC\u0026amp;C Stock #5386\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gillmore Coins \u0026 Collectibles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67985195761894,"sku":"5386","price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/6212\/8614\/files\/5386_1.jpg?v=1794201597","url":"https:\/\/gillmore.ca\/products\/the-birders-journal-stories-an-observation-journal-and-a-sketch-pad-edited-by-bob-waldon-1998-1st-ed","provider":"Gillmore Coins \u0026 Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
