Horned Grebe at the Celery Farm
My first ever here. And the spring arrivals are arriving! The grebe was No. 186 on my Celery Farm life…
The umpteenth annual Allendale Day is this Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with lots of booths, music and food.
Fyke Nature Association has a booth on the town's main drag. The nifty 2010 Celery Farm calendars will be on sale for $15, as will "Icky" and "Swan Babies," two of the Celery Farm children's books I did with Jerry Barrack. Proceeds from all three items go to the Lillian and Stiles Thomas Scholarship Fund.
Also on sale: Signed copies of "In the Presence of Nature" (the Celery Farm coffee table book I did with Jerry, including a Foreword by David Sibley), as well as the new Hawk Mountain coffee-table book.
If you're around, please stop by and say hi.
