Boy oh Boy. There's a lot goin' on for me the next week--but it's all FUN!

Tomorrow, Saturday, August 23 is my book signing/release part for my second book City Birds/Country Birds at Cardinal Corner (both locations) and Cinnamon the Disapproving Rabbit (and Non Birding Bill) will be there too: Book Signing Times:

August 23, 2008:
10 a.m. - 12 p.m. - Cardinal Corner in West St. Paul Store (651-455-6556)
1 p.m. - 3 p.m. - Cardinal Corner in Newport (651-459-3880)

If you are heading to the Minnesota State Fair next week, I'll be there Monday, August 25 with a live bird from The Raptor Center at the KARE11 booth for Showcase Minnesota. I'll be on sometime between 10am - 11am.

I'll be back at the State Fair on Thursday, August 28 joining the Ian and Margery Field Trip. We start at the fm107 booth (I think you have to be signed up by 10:15am) and then we go on the Sky Ride. Maybe we'll see the resident Cooper's hawk or we can pretend we're soaring red-tails trying to grab the prey below with our feet!

Then, Thursday night, it's Birds and Beers at Merlin's Rest at 6pm! Birds and Beers is an informal gathering of birders of all ages, if you're a hardcore lister or a casual backyard birder or someone who just wants to know what this whole birding thing is about, then you're invited.

Somewhere in here I have to do the usual park ranger stuff, my usual shift at TRC, and tend to my bees...oh yes, and maybe spend some time with my husband.
