Hi all,

The new book, "Cerulean Blues", has been getting excellent reviews -- it is
the story of the Cerulean Warbler's struggle to survive, and how habitat
changes -- from its breeding area in the north to its wintering areas in the
south -- are putting the pressure on. Ceruleans as we know have declined
tremendously, an estimated 70% since the 1970s.

This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the issues facing our
migrants, and also, to enjoy some good company on a winter's evening.

ALL are welcome (whether ANS members or not). See below for details...

Cheers,
Gail Mackiernan
Colesville, MD
