Jack -
Best part of Foster's book is his artwork, the ink drawings or etchings. It is, indeed, a fine book.
NY season opens Monday. There seem to be birds in my area. Looking forward to a new season. I will head out to MI next week with some friends on this board, our first trip in your direction for grouse. Hope the weather is a little cooler than it is here.
Wish you well for good season. Best, Will
