Living on the Wind: Across the Hemisphere With Migratory Birds by Scott Weidensaul Bird migration is the world's only true unifying natural phenomenon, stitching the continents together in a way that even the great weather systems fail to do. ... Migration paths form an elaborate global web that shows serious signs of fraying, and Weidensaul delves into the tragedies of habitat degradation and deforestation with an urgency that brings to life the vast problems these miraculous migrants now face. Living on the Wind is a magisterial work of nature writing.

A BIG THANKS TO VORTEX OPTICS
Lahontan Audubon Society owes a huge thank you to Vortex Optics, who each year, for the last 5-plus years,
have repaired a box full of well-used (some damaged) LAS binoculars used by the 500 or so elementary school children who attended the LAS field trips at Washoe Lake State Park. Vortex has never charged LAS a penny for this terrific service and has even paid return shipping back to us.
We encourage anyone who may be looking for binoculars to check out Vortex Optics.
They have a great variety of binoculars in a wide price range and provide amazing service.
Thanks so much, Vortex.
