Hello Jeff,

A good book for birding places in Romania is - Romania a bird watching and wildlife guide,James Roberts, Burton Expeditions, 2000.
I am living in Brasov. For wetland areas I would suggest Dumbravita area, Rotbav area, Reci forest. These are located arround Brasov, at less than 50 km. For birding in the mountains I would suggest Piatra Craiului, Piatra Mare and Bucegi mountains.
For any other information please contact me.

Maybe it is not a bad idea to tell us about your target species, Jeff. After that, I will be able to suggest some places...
