Those big red roof cabins are pretty nice! We stayed in them last year. It is about $700 for two nights. I was talking with J. Montgomery about how much fun it would be for a big group of us to rent one and go down there for part of the fall migration season. Great blog!

Rosenthal Tue, 23 Sep 2008 15:44:51 +0000 http://jeffreyagordon.com/?p=169#comment-17 Hi Jeff: Please pardon me for posting my comment here, as I couldn't figure out how to send you a private message, but here goes: Since you have done the podcasts related to the re-release of the Peterson Guide to Birds, you may be interested to know about my new book, Birdwatcher: The Life of Roger Tory Peterson (Lyons Press, 2008). As I'm sure you know, Peterson played a central role in the expansion of birding not only in the US, but also Europe and East Africa. My book details these things, and demonstrates the breadth of his involvement and leadership in nature education and many of the most celebrated conservation causes of the 20th century. From his early 20s onward, Peterson was teaching about all aspects of nature, sometimes informally, sometimes formally, through his writings, lectures, books and work with various conservation organizations. Also, the reader learns about Peterson the Man: what motivated him, personal and professional challenges he faced, and his personal impact on many of today's top birders and conservationists. I ended up talking to well over 100 people from around the world to put together this portrait of a complex and driven man. Birders, natural history buffs, and conservationists alike will enjoy the book. Please visit my web site for more information: http://www.petersonbird.com. Would you be interested in writing a review of the book for your blog? If so, I would be happy to send you a copy of the book. Please let me know. I can be reached at ejrose@aol.com.
