I've just published my review of Stephen Lyn Bales' latest book, Ghost Birds, the story of James Tanner's epic journey into the world of the ivory-billed woodpecker. This book is a must-read for anyone who loves birds and champions conservation. Steeped in historical research, Ghost Birds reads like an expertly crafted novel, and will forever imprint upon your mind, the fragile and complex nature of conservation and the survival of a species. _http://vickiehenderson.blogspot.com/2010/11/ghost-birds-by-stephen-lyn-bale s-book.html_ (http://vickiehenderson.blogspot.com/2010/11/ghost-birds-by-stephen-lyn-bales-book.html) Vickie Henderson Knoxville, TN Knox County =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
