This little book is available at Wild Bird Stores or by using the toll free number (800) 8792473. I am not sure of the price but remember it being less than $5. I also suggest thinking seriously of subscribing to the magazine: “Bird Watcher’s Digest.” Have a credit card handy. You can also order by mail. Write: Bird Watcher’s Digest Press, PO Box 110, Marietta, Ohio 45750. Mention publication No.305. There are a number of other informative and interesting little books in this series on subjects of great interest such as hummingbirds, bluebirds, and purple martins.
My young friend, entomologist Nathan Erwin, director of the Smithsonian’s Insect Zoo, will be conducting a summer workshop on Butterflies at Airlie, Aug. 2 and 3.
This will be the second time the enthusiastic and knowledgeable Mr. Erwin has visited Airlie for this event and the fourth time he has direct a Butterfly Count.
Lee Trott and I attended this workshop last summer and it was good fun. I also learned a lot about butterflies and how to attract them to the yard.
For more information and to register, call Donielle Rinninger, staff biologist at Airlie, 341-3239. The cost will be well repaid by a richness of new information and awareness not to mention acquiring compatible new friends.
Well known Virginia ornithologist, David Johnston, has just compiled a new publication for the American Birding Association. It is for those bird watchers who travel to see birds and is entitled: “A Birder’s Guide To Virginia.” I just received a copy from Dr. Johnston and it is a thorough description of where to go in our fine state to see birds.
