Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey When Desert Solitaire was written in 1968, it became the focus of a nationwide cult. It is thought-provoking and mystical, angry and loving. It is a view of Abbey's quest to experience nature in its purest form. And it asks if any of our natural treasures can be saved before the bulldozers strike again. Birds and Books
Reading/Discussion Group is held Every Third Tuesday: 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. January through October Sundance Bookstore, 121 California Ave., Reno. |

ALERT
There is currently a serious avian botulism outbreakin NW NV in places where water has been stagnant, hot and filled with migrating waterbirds.
NDOW welcomes volunteers, but would like people to sign up with them so work can be coordinated. This from Chris Nicolai: Help is needed. But good to have a central place so we can balance the needs with helpers. No one likes to show up and too many people are there already. Volunteers need to go to www.ndow.org/Education/Volunteer/ to register. They can then contact Aaron Keller at akeller@ndow.org or call 775-688-1555. CONSERVATION ALERT

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.
