Mark Salvadalena - Birding
After teaching a class on birding for more than a decade through the Bainbridge Island Metro Park District, Salvadalena decided to knit together a book a few years ago based on his class notes, and at the behest of his family.
Birding Bainbridge Island (2025) is a practical and beautifully designed guide to the bird species regularly observed on Bainbridge Island, Washington. It blends concise species accounts, seasonal highlights, and habitat notes with firsthand knowledge of local public birding locations - from Murden Cove to the Grand Forest. Whether you're watching ducks gather in winter or listening for warblers in spring, this guide deepens your understanding of the island's birds and their behaviors. Written for birders of all levels, the book draws on community contributions, island-specific data, and thoughtful visual design. It includes when and where to find each species, identification tips, habitat insights, historical context, and a clean, accessible layout.
