On Tuesday, Jan. 24 on Zoom, Jim Wright presented “Meet The Real James Bond.”
In 1952, Ian Fleming took the name of a famous ornithologist and explorer named James Bond (1900-1989), the author of the trail-blazing Birds of the West Indies. This colorfully-illustrated author talk will focus on Bond, Ian Fleming, and some “007” moments in the Adirondacks.
Wright is an author, blogger, freelance writer and birding columnist for The Record in northern New Jersey. Wright is the author of several other books, including The Nature of the Meadowlands, Hawk Mountain, Jungle of the Maya and In the Presence of Nature, about the Celery Farm Natural Area in Allendale, N.J., where he is a deputy marsh warden.
