This is a program you do not want to miss! George Fenwick, the founder and president of the American Bird Conservancy will be flying in from Washington D.C. to talk about the state of bird conservation today and will be presenting his new book (released just ten days ago). We will have a limited number of these books on hand at 40% below SRP ($27). If you let me know that you want one, I will reserve you a copy. If I know there is a demand, I will get more in. For more information on the book see: http://www.press.uchicago.edu/presssite/metadata.epl?mode=synopsis&bookkey=10509982
