A Sand Country Almanac and Sketches Here and There by Aldo Leopold This is a classic, first published in 1949, that has brought many a person to an understanding of the ways of nature. It contains some of the finest nature writing since Thoreau. Leopold wrote these informal pieces over a forty-year period as he traveled through the woodlands of Wisconsin, Iowa, Arizona, Sonora, Oregon, Manitoba and elsewhere. In a final section, he addresses the philosophical issues involved in wildlife conservation. Birds and Books

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.
