[CT Birds] "The Birds of Guilford, Connecticut" publication

[Linda & Steve Broker]

As per Hank Golet's comments on Locke Mackenzie's "The Birds of  
Guilford, Connecticut" (Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History. 1961):

I have 40 uncirculated copies of "The Birds of Guilford Connecticut",  
now for sale for $5.00 per copy, all proceeds going to COA.  The  
books were inherited from Fred Sibley.  Those who are interested can  
contact me, and we'll figure out a way to get a copy of the book to you.
