Thank you John! The books on Steller can be found on Amazon. I agree with
John, hope that the movie will not lean on some birder stereotypes! The
Field Glass Fraternity ( quote Roger Tory Peterson), sure is a varied,
colorful lot with a common bond, the love of birds and nature! I do not
consider myself quite as crazy, as a rock climber or bicycle road racer - no
offense!
