The Real James Bond

Jim Wright

Jim Wright, long-time “Bird Watcher” columnist for The Bergen Record and other New Jersey newspapers, will speak about his book The Real James Bond, the story behind the noted naturalist/adventurer from Philadelphia and the world’s greatest identity theft

Featured are the genuine James Bond’s iconic Birds of the West Indies, his solo Caribbean expeditions — and his enduring connection to Ian Fleming.

Jim’s other books include The Screech Owl Companion, The Nature of the Meadowlands, Jungle of the Maya, and Hawk Mountain. In his spare time, he spies on peregrine falcons for the state of New Jersey. He is the coordinator for the fall migration at the State Line Hawk Watch on the Hudson River.
