One Small Gift for the Birds?

On May 7, the hidden girl behind Gropius turns 33. Scary. Any number that's divisible by 11 is scary. ...Although 3 X 3 is 9, a sacred number, just like 3. Any way you slice it, there's a little somethin' I'd love to ask of you.

Watch this video, "The State of the Birds," a beautiful and informative 4 minute video made possible by the efforts of thousands of citizen-science participants. The website, video, and printed report were produced for the partnership by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. (www.stateofthebirds.org) Consider all of the beautiful diversity surrounding us on this blue and green globe. And think of how much of it abounds in Florida--right here in Sarasota/ Bradenton.

Would you give $10 (or anything you felt comfortable with) to an organization that protects it, engages outdoor adventurers in it, and educates children and adults about its magnificence?

Think about it. And if you decide you can spare the change, click here to donate to the Sarasota Audubon Society in one easy and secure step. It would make the birthday blogger oh so happy. Learn more about Sarasota Audubon online at www.sarasotaaudubon.org. And thanks for considering.

Happy Birthday Gropius!

The little feathered friends make me sneeze, cough, and wheeze. But I do enjoy listening to their song and watching them fly. Besides that, Molly was quite intrigued by the video.

We made a donation on your behalf.

No that's not for triple X rated. It's a secret numerical code handed down by the Romans.
