Guest Authors
We
started this section with two well-respected "Minnesotans:" Jim Gilbert and Al Batt,
and added more authors as time's gone by. We even
have articles on bird-feeding related topics.
Jim
is a naturalist and works with Gustavus Aldophus.
He's well-known throughout the state for his sharing his
extensive experience and knowledge via speaking events,
radio shows and newspaper columns. His phenology,
or annual record of events, is published in our quarterly
newsletter for members and is the basis of information for
the annual Weatherguide Calendars. Jim's
Phenology
Al is humorist, writer and lover of all
things natural. He is, of course, Lutheran and lives
in southern Minnesota. He travels from Alaska to Costa
Rica speaking to groups and leading bird trips. He
was named Birder of the Year by Wild Bird Magazine and even
authors several nationally-syndicated comic strips.
His insights on nature are heart-warming and humorous and
never fail to make one pause to consider the wonder of the
world around us. Al's
