Don’t forget to support your local book shops and birders! Frank was just in our shop today, and signed a dozen of his fantastic books. They are available at a discount through our website. We’re certain that The Fat Robin has them, too. We’d also be happy to bring one to anyone coming to the New Haven Bird Club annual dinner tonight.
