Silence of the Songbirds

After providing books for sale at a Kennebec Land Trust author event recently, we have a few signed copies left of Bridget Stutchbury's book, Silence of the Songbirds. These would make a great gift for the birder in your family (doesn't every family have one?), or for yourself, of course! The author, a professor of biology in Toronto, explores the many facets of the steady decline in migrating songbirds. Prepare yourself to be convinced--it's happening, and it's important. Allow me to expand the topic to the Land Trust, quietly doing a great deal of land preservation for almost twenty years now. If you love this area, as we do, and value the wild character of the still-undeveloped places, then your bequest, donation, or volunteer time could not go to a better organization. To see a map of the lands they have purchased for preservation, see the map. --Eric
