Do you have an automatic e-mail system to send me information – because I had to hunt to get this information. If you do have a daily/week/ymonthly delivery I would appreciate it. My e-mail is nekoitami@gmail.com
Thank you
Gaile Itami
connected initiallydue to Legends of the American West but as if often the path, I go deeper and deeper into the life and passions of one I had an inkling about from the writing and tone of the book…..and, I am correct……add me to email list. I have no dinero to send right now, struggling artist/writer myself BUT I have good marketing skills and dedicated enviro friends, we will help and support all we can as we can. thanks
I discovered your site as a result of reading Alex’s piece in VF about 44th Street in New York. I have read many of his other pieces in The New Yorker and VF. I am increasingly interested in learning more about global diversity and acquiring better skills at observing the natural world. Having spent many years behind a desk I am looking to get out into our world and perhaps find a way to help decrease the “vanishings”.
I am about to embark on a short hiking trip in the Colorado Rockies, a long-held ambition. Can you give a beginner some tips on targets for observation? If no time to spare, no problem. I will look forward to following the work on this remarkable site.
Hi George, just got your comment. I would get field guides to the birds and wildlflowers for starters. trees mushrooms and butterflies and a camera and notebook and binoculars. hope you got to the colorado rockies before they went up in flames. feel free to post anything experiences or encounters or concerns on Reader Alerts.
Just skimmed your piece on the monarch butterfly, tagging, and the overwintering sites. I’m trying to do a little paper about the history leading up to F.A. Urquhart helping science learn the whereabouts of the sites. I want to know more about him and that early part of the process, and you seem to have gotten some great info! I don’t know how I should cite YOUR work and I’m wondering where you got your information. Let me know….
I had the chance to meet Lincoln Bower this past June. It was therefore fun for me to read about their conflict. !
Hi Elaine, I went to the library of McGill University’s Macarthur campus, which has a lot of information on Urquart, who was Canadian. If you going to reference the article, just give the title and date it ran in Vanity Fair. Who’s the article for ? Love to see a copy when you’re done.
