Cobirders, CFO's partner organization, Western Field Ornithologists, has just published a book, *The Birds of Gambell and St. Lawrence Island*. Searching for one more North American record, many of us from CFO have braved the brutal wind and stumbled across and into Gambell's pea gravel. Knowing what those ball-bearing treks did to my own hip sockets, I fully admire Paul Lehman's annual and sometimes semi-annual treks. Will this book inspire you--or frighten you? Read the book and find out.
