Birds in Nature - images of wild birds by Richard Ditch

This two-page spread of my work appeared in the March 1988 issue of Audubon magazine, published by the National Audubon Society under the title A License to Bird. The subject of this essay was birder vanity license plates taken at birding hotspots in the mid Atlantic states. I still photograph these plates whenever I encounter one, and my collection is over 150 now. Some day I will try to add them to this web site. The same concept, under the same title I believe, ran in Wild Birds magazine recently without any reference to this previous publication.
