About Bob Dolgan
This Week in Birding is a newsletter that gives you everything you need to know about birding. It’s written by me, Bob Dolgan, writer, filmmaker, Director of “Monty and Rose,” a film about Piping Plovers, former Editor of Meadowlark, a journal of Illinois birds and an official Ambassador for the American Bird Conservancy. I received the 2022 Excellence in Environmental Reporting Award from Chicago Audubon Society.
Since launching in November 2020, This Week in Birding has provided original posts and videos including frequent species accounts, travelog-style reflections, backyard birding experiences, and more. The short documentary “Dodger,” released in January 2021, is a production of Turnstone Strategies and This Week in Birding, as is the Monty and Rose sequel, released in September 2021 and “The Magic Stump,” a documentary short that released in Fall 2022. Our newest project is “Fluddles,” a film that made its debut in Peoria, Illinois, on November 8, 2023.
