The Atlas of Breeding Birds of Alberta front cover

I was amazed to be told that one of my photos had been chosen to be included in the recently published "The Atlas of Breeding Birds of Alberta". It's a beautiful book!

Comment from Bird Studies Canada (BSC):

12 October 2007 – After seven years of extensive fieldwork and data analysis, The Atlas of Breeding Birds of Alberta: A Second Look, is now available. This high-quality publication from the Federation of Alberta Naturalists details the distribution, status, and preferred habitats of more than 270 species of birds nesting in the province." It is a "comprehensive, full colour, (LARGE), hardcover book".

I think I submitted about 6 or 8 images last year, and feel very lucky to be included. I believe this is the fifth book that I've been lucky enough to be published in, plus three magazines (which include a beautifully produced children's magazine in Israel!).

OK, now, to bring me back down to earth (!), I need to go and sort out and clean my ancient fridge which is dying, ready for a new one to be delivered on Monday. It's proving to be a bigger task than I thought - taking away precious time on Flickr, LOL!
