The wonderful Plains Wanderer, Pedionomus torquatus was the 1000th bird I had seen in the world. That number is closer to 1300 now, but for the foreseeable future, I am mostly focusing on seeing birds in Australia.  www.rbruce.net

We travelled the continent of Australia in a camper birding for a year. I wrote a book about it. It is called, The year. It is available online. Links: AUS: http://au.blurb.com/b/8847459-the-year-with-photos USA: http://www.blurb.com/b/8847459-the-year-with-photos

We saw several Southern Cassowaries during our year of travelling and birding. My book about that journey, The Year, is now available. “The story is superb and the descriptions of birds, places and people are all original and engaging, and I love the asides and the wise and imaginative comments that Bruce works in on just about every page. The little asides that he tosses in are all gems and they add to the value and charm of the book. I love the story, I love Bruce’s unique perspective on every topic, and I would like to make sure I get that point across.” - Kenn Kaufman, Kingbird Highway, Kaufman Field Guide Series
