My latest "Bird Watcher" column in The Record and Herald News looks at the top local birding spots recommended by local birders themselves.

  I suggested the Celery Farm (surprise, surprise) -- other choices include Flat Rock Brook Nature Center in Englewood and The Eight-Acre Woods in Hawthorne. I will be writing about another nominee, Greenbrook Sanctuary, before its next open house in the autumn, when the foliage is starting to peak.
