The Meaning of Birds by Simon Barnes This is a passionate and informative celebration of birds and their ability to help us understand the world we live in. Besides exploring how birds do what they do, Barnes muses on the uses of feathers, the drama of raptors, the slaughter of pheasants, the infidelities of geese, and the strangeness of feeling sentimental about blue tits while enjoying a chicken sandwich.

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 schoolchildren 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 large price range and provide amazing service.
Thanks so much, Vortex.
