GREAT NEWS!!!
The name of my book on my big year will be called
Extreme Birder: One Woman's Big Year.
The best guess on when it will be published is March 2011 (or after).

Are you interested in seeing a presentation about my
ABA BIG YEAR OF BIRDING?

Email me to schedule a talk for your group. There are a couple of versions of the talk, depending on the birding nuttiness of the likely audience. Or I could tell you about my Texas big year in 2005, or about the Texas Ornithological Society (T.O.S.), or about ways to attract birds, or about the birds most likely to be found in north-central Texas, or about the not-so-fine art of bird chasing, or.... I just love to talk about birds!
