Keynote Presentation by
Richard Crossley
Author of "The Shorebird Guide"

Richard Crossley was born in Yorkshire, England.  This internationally-acclaimed birder and photographer grew up living for sport.
Hooked on birding at age 7, he hitch-hiked over 100,000 miles to follow his passion. In his 20’s he traveled more extensively,
particularly to Asia and North America.  He fell in love with Cape May, NJ and he has lived there since 1991.

Self-employed in corporate America, in recent times he has turned his attention to books and the role of photography.
Since The Shorebird Guide, Richard’s goal has been to make lifelike scenes that are more visually striking and educational.
With multiple projects on the go, Crossley Books and The Crossley ID Guide series are intended to have a significant impact
on how we look at birds, wildlife and books.

Initial forays into video and TV should play an even more important role in popularizing the sport of birding and love of the outdoors.

Organized by Hackensack Riverkeeper and the New Jersey Audubon Society
Hosted and Sponsored by the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission
