March 21 - I'll be in Irvine, CA for the Annual Dinner of the Sea and Sage Audubon Society, and on the following morning I'll be presenting a workshop on drawing birds. Details here.

March 29 - I'll be among a group of authors at the Newton, MA Public Library for their "Spring Fling" Here's the blurb from the Library's website:

It’s not too early to dream of spring, so mark your calendars for the Newton Free Library’s annual Spring Fling gala event, Saturday, March 29, 2008, 7:00 pm, at the library. This library lovers’ evening will honor regional authors including co-authors Jody Adams and Ken Rivard, Joseph Finder, Rebecca Goldstein, Nathaniel Philbrick, Rishi Reddi, and David Allen Sibley. Enjoy conversations with the authors, a literary-themed silent auction, excellent food, and good music. You will have the opportunity to purchase the honorees’ books and have them personally signed by the author. Tickets go on sale in February. For more info, contact Devra Kiel Simon, Director of Development, 617-796-1407 or dsimon@minlib.net.

May - I'll be participating in a Fossil-Fuel-Free birdathon supporting Malkolm Bothroyd's Bird Year as part of the Bird Day Challenge, which you can read about here. And I'll also be participating in BirdStudies Canada's Baillie Birdathon. I will fill in more details on these events later.
