About Brooks · Local Birding Report

This site is made in the memory of E. Brooks Bornhofft.

An expert birder, Brooks shared his passion in his popular column in The Cape Courier. Since 2018 he brought biweekly field observations, natural history, and anecdotes together for his readers in the “Local Birding Report.” The poetic column is a lasting record of his love of birds, natural spaces, and family. Brooks volunteered with BirdSafe Maine and was on the board of the Cape Elizabeth Land Trust.
