Living on the Wind: Across the Hemisphere with Migratory Birds by Scott Weidensaul Scott Weidensaul follows kettles of hawks over the Mexican coastal plains, bar-tailed godwits that hitchhike on gale winds of 7,000 miles non-stop across the Pacific from Alaska to New Zealand, and myriad songbirds whose numbers have dwindled dramatically. Migration paths form an elaborate global web now showing serious signs of fraying. 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. 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. |

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.
