A family motel and passion for responsible ecotourism brought her home to the Oregon Coast where she and her husband, Erik, adventure and record a podcast ( Hannah and Erik Go Birding ), created in an effort to inspire others to get out and bird. This is Hannah’s first contribution to 10,000 Birds. I love to go on cruises.

It is not a book for every birder, but it will be a fascinating read for those who love albatrosses, shearwaters, petrels, storm-petrels–you know, tubenoses–as well as penguins, gannets, cormorants, and pretty much every bird family that spends most of its life at sea. And you might think you know them but you might be mistaken.

I come from a family where the worse the situation, the faster and more furiously the wisecracks fly, so I suppose I’m hardwired to look for humor. It was the first time I went to a wildlife rehabilitators conference. The book is darkly funny. Why did you decide it was important to find humor in Luna’s experience? There are so many!

An Archaeopteryx-like theropod from China Then one day you go to a conference of historians and there is a special symposium being held by some well regarded colleagues, who have been working for months with some archaeologists on a secret project. Recently, the news came out that beloved Archaeopteryx is not really a bird ancestor.

It omits Audubon’s uneven business history, his bankruptcy, and the fact that Lucy, his wife, eventually had to support the family through teaching. Do you include objects related to ornithology–published taxonomies and proceedings or a conference program from an ornithological organization, and if so, which one?
