Summer Reading Club
Looking for something to read this summer? Chris Walters recommends Don
Kroodsma's "The Singing Life of Birds: The Art and Science of Listening to
Birdsong". This book is available  from Amazon.com at $11.53 (new) and $7.53
(used). Several reviews of this book are posted on the Amazon site. Don will
be our banquet speaker this December so this is a good way to learn about
his man's body of work.
Does anyone else have suggestions for summer reading?
