Oh, wow! I have been in Port Wing, Wisconsin, since Sunday keeping my mother-in-law company as she recovers from a broken pelvis.

But I came back today to a really cool thing--the wonderful Julie Craves of the Rouge River Bird Observatory, a columnist for
Birder's World, and author of all kinds of splendid publications about Michigan's natural world, sent me a photo of herself holding my book, and also a link to the Rouge River Bird Observatory's

They remind us that we share our world with truly amazing creatures that deserve our admiration and best efforts at stewardship.
