Summer Books for Kids (and the rest of us)

10,000 Birds

'I love reading children’s books, even though my child is well over the age when she asks to have them read at bedtime and my nephews fall asleep all too easily after playing lacrosse all day. I enjoy collecting children’s books about birds and nature that I come across in the expected (book stores) and unexpected (academic library conference reports) places.

'Well, the blog is back just in time for me to post a story… which is annoying as it would be nice to have a week off without having to fabricate a story for Mike and Corey to cover my bone idle nature. Sadly, the downtime means that the usual post crafting process got slightly short-circuited this week.

Dickcissels I Never Knew

10,000 Birds

'For a community that prides itself on rising early, it’s never been easy for me to roll out of bed earlier than 7. So when my alarm went of at around 5:15 AM a week ago, the time I needed to get out of bed, gather my things, and get out in time for sun-up, I was wondering exactly why I’d agreed to this. I had been contacted by Bill at Birds & Beans Coffee, a wonderful shade-grown distributor I’d been using for a few years, to help do a breeding bird survey on a local organ

Birding East Hills to Padstow

10,000 Birds

'On our recent trip to New South Wales we followed up our walk from Otford train station to Helensburgh train station , through the Royal National Park, with another long walk the next day. Once again we referred to the Wildwalks website for another option that included using public transport, with a train being our preference.
