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 ways to attract birds, or about the not-so-fine art of bird chasing, or about all sorts of "Extreme Birding", or .... I just love to talk about birds! Also, please contact me to schedule a book-signing or to buy a book (or two).
