         Birds in Our Backyard

    Text by Adele Porter • Photographs by Bill Marchel
    New release, October 2011 • $14.95

     A prairie chicken dancing to the beat, a Red-winged Blackbird flashing his
     snazzy wing patches, a grouse growing its own "snowshoes", and American 
     Robins traveling north in the spring share at least one characteristic - they all call
     Minnesota home at some point during the year. Birds in Our Backyard invites
     young ones into the lives of these winged wonders.

     Season by season, kids discover which birds they might see, how far they have
     traveled, where they build their homes, and what they like to eat. Adele Porter
     and nature photographer Bill Marchel bring to life the world of birds - the colors,  
     the sounds, the wonder of flight.

    Book. Story Time and Teacher Guides are also available online for free downloading.
