ARE YOU INTERESTED IN COMING TO A SHOW ON MY ABA BIG YEAR OF BIRDING?

If so, please check out the following schedule, or email me to schedule a talk for your group (there are a couple of versions of the talk, depending on the birding nuttiness of the likely audience; or I could tell you about my Texas big year in 2005, or about the Texas Ornithological Society (T.O.S.), or about ways to attract birds, or about the birds most likely to be found in north-central Texas, or about the not-so-fine art of bird chasing, or.... I just love to talk about birds!)
