RW Morse Company

The R. W. Morse Company was formed in 1978 by Bob Morse. The Company's main areas of focus are:

· Write, Publish Books. Bob and Christina’s life-long interest in birds and bird watching has led them to write 10 books and numerous articles about birds. After writing A Birder’s Guide to Coastal Washington, the company developed a series of compact, regional guides for beginning bird watchers. Starting with Birds of the Puget Sound Region which became the best selling bird book in the Western US for three successive years, other regional guides were developed for Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Southwestern British Columbia, Los Angeles area, and Inland Northwest and Northern Rockies. These are the five books featured in this web site.

· Consulting. With expertise in birding and bird surveys as well as small business planning and management, the company offers a variety of consulting services.
