What a great experience for her and her class.

I wanted to order your guide for myself a while back and didn't - it's on my list to order tomorrow :o) Perfectly suited for me.<BR/><BR/>And Phoebe, it was great to hear you! The bird I never tire of watching: Great Blue Heron. Boring action but great beauty. That one must be on your list, too? :o)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040099513110890878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-40558269809233775562008-09-26T14:38:00.000-04:002008-09-26T14:38:00.000-04:00Kenn: You've sold me!

Even commented on it in a post earlier this week. I'm anxious to see how the various protected habitats fared during the big blow we got down here two weeks ago. Won't be able to get down there to see anything for weeks yet, tho.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Bill: Thanks. I've actually thought several times about getting involved with the local Audubon chapter (for <I>me</I>), but with such limited time I've just never taken the leap. Hadn't even thought to check their schedule for kid-friendly events!Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13014655699830796979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-45978338018143308002008-09-25T17:25:00.000-04:002008-09-25T17:25:00.000-04:00Kyle;What KK said!

You might also want to tap into the events Houston Audubon does for kids:<BR/>http://www.houstonaudubon.org/<BR/>For a young birder, nothing beats getting out in the field with other birders of all ages.<BR/><BR/><BR/>KK:<BR/>Thanks, amigo.Bill of the Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16000245161006147448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-21315984058175333572008-09-25T16:19:00.000-04:002008-09-25T16:19:00.000-04:00Kyle, I know you posed your question to Bill, but ...Kyle, I know you posed your question to Bill, but let me give you an answer from a third party. Absolutely! The Young Birder's Guide covers the vast majority of the birds that your kids are going to see in the Houston area, and it's a fabulous resource for getting young people involved with nature. And you'll probably enjoy the book yourself -- it focuses on all the reasons why birds are exciting, fun, beautiful, important, and totally cool.Kenn Kaufmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04770640232654807723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-23231149965983128802008-09-25T14:00:00.000-04:002008-09-25T14:00:00.000-04:00Bill, I've wondered about this since seeing your f...Bill, I've wondered about this since seeing your first posts about this book, but just haven't taken the time to ask.<BR/><BR/>We live in the Gulf Coast region of Texas (Houston vicinity). Would there be enough in <I>The Young Birder's Guide</I> to interest and be relevant to kids this far from the east coast?<BR/><BR/>I'm trying to get my kids out of the house more and interested in nature and wildlife, and this does sound like a great opportunity and tool to help get them excited about birds.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13014655699830796979noreply@blogger.com
