The special hummingbird issue of The Backyard Birds Newsletter is now available just in time for the arrival of these little feathered jewels in backyards all across North America.

This issue of The Backyard Birds Newsletter (Vol. 12, No.2, Spring, April 2009) features quite a fine selection of articles on birds, bird-friendly gardening, and other backyard nature topics by such notable nature writers as Lynn Hassler, Dr. David Bird, Kevin Cook, Ed Kanze, and Diane Cooledge Porter; among all of whom I find it a great honor to have one of my own humble works included.
If you enjoyed reading this, please consider signing up for The Well-read Naturalist's newsletter. You'll receive a helpful list of recently published reviews, short essays, and notes about books in your e-mail inbox once each fortnight.
