The potpourri covers some interesting bird related science of the last few weeks, and the promise is this: I’ll get to that other stuff soon, I promise! Researchers are wondering if the die-off might spread to other birds or even fish. This is not something I needed to tell you but there is some new research.

For my new book, due out in 2012 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, I’ve been researching sandhill crane hunting. I feel certain that, given Tennessee’s 18-year track record of celebrating cranes in a tremendously successful festival, the opposition will only be stronger in 2013. Additionally, sandhill cranes reproduce very slowly.
