30 Birds

Latest news:

ON TOP OF TOP -- We are exploring producing an audiobook version. Fingers crossed, 2024. Also exploring additional alliances, prominently Google Play/Google Books. Stay tuned. Or, if we get delayed posting here -- explore that territory on your own, and you may find us already there.
ON TOP OF BRAND NEW -- We have now provided samples of nine addtional chapters! Just go to our home page, then find this symbol -- [Q] -- in our Table of Contents -- and click on it. You'll get a thumbnail image of the bird and the first paragraph of the chapter as an irresistable enticement.
BRAND NEW -- A new entry in our chapters available here NOW IN FULL: Chapter 30, Florida Canyon. A trip to Arizona becomes interwoven with a trip to Costa Rica by then-grad-student, Bob Jenkins. This chapter now joins our last brand new: Chapter 13, which as we rolled into the new year we announced: "Also, now here IN FULL: Chapter 13, Penelope -- in order to celebrate the new year. Happy 2020!" [Little did we know].    BRAND NEW -- One of our chapters formerly available only in half is here NOW IN FULL: Chapter 3, Masked Sibilicide. So, all four of the first chapters are here in full, as are 13 and 30.
As always, new things added to Random Footnotes

Worth repeating:

Website now updated to super responsiveness to whatever device you wish to view it on. Give it a try on any and all of your many devices. Tell your friends.   Worth repeating: Please see Photo Credits for the photographic artists behind the magnificent images which grace these pages.

The complete ebook/paperback, sans ads of course, is available now for purchase: Click here. (For the ebook, a free app is provided enabling it to be read on any device -- mobile phone, tablet, computer -- whichever you prefer. No need to own a Kindle reader.)          


All this is a new path for digital books which I hereby dub Yin-Yang (of course) yy -- symbol of "how seemingly opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary, interconnected, and interdependent." The yin here is being able to read this book slowly through the website postings (eventually); the yang is the immediate satisfaction of getting the complete book right now (ebook costs less than an Ostrich Feather Duster or a cafe latte).

When new material from the book is posted on this website, the links to the chapter containing that material become active. In addition, we will try to summarize the state of play periodically here.
