As December winds onward, the hoarfrost at EBF is beautiful right now, delicately outlining the trees and bushes and making the whole place feel perfectly festive. As well, Myrna spotted a pair of Downy Woodpeckers checking out the snags up by the new Visitor Centre.

Prairie Birder visits Vermilion book signing event 

12/14/2015

0 Comments

 
When Myrna visited the Vermilion Mainstreet Hardware for a book signing on Saturday December 12, she was joined by Charlotte Wasylik, creator of the Alberta Birds Facebook group and Alberta's most celebrated young birder. It was because of Charlotte's post to her Facebook page regarding a request for bird photos for Backyard Bird Feeding: An Alberta Guide that we received so many photo submissions!

Shown here with Charlotte and Myrna is Ebony Jensen, Manager of the Vermilion Mainstreet Hardware. Ebony is a strong supporter of the local Vermilion birding and 4-H groups. The book signing was very successful!

A much-needed reprieve

Have you seen Sylvan Lake lately?

It is smooth as glass and perfect for skating, and you can chase the fish across the clear ice as they swim below the surface. Which is precisely what some of the EBF/book promotion crew did late Saturday afternoon. A much-needed reprieve indeed.

Brian Keating, a naturalist columnist for CBC Radio One, will be reviewing Backyard Bird Feeding on the CBC Radio Active in Edmonton today around 5:40 PM and Friday afternoon on the Homestretch on CBC Calgary. There will be book giveaways involved. Hurray for CBC!

Edited to add: Here is the link to the  glowing review on CBC Radio Active from this evening. If it doesn't convince you the book is worth purchasing, I don't know what will!

The book tour has taken Myrna all across the province and she's not done yet! She's visited Peavey Mart stores across the province, going as far south as High River, and will be going north all the way to Vermilion for signings at the Peavey Mart and Public Library on Saturday, December 12.  She's also hoping to squeeze in one more signing event at Kerry Wood Nature Centre before Christmas. Details to come!
