First of all, I want to congratuleVicki Jauron, a frequent contributor to this page, for publication of her second Children’s book based on our very own Long Island birds. Vicki is one of the best wildlife photographers anywhere and probably holds the record for most cover shots in our weekly compilations. Here new book, “The Magical Bird Beach of Long Island,” published in March, featured four shorebirds that breed on our shores in spring and summer. Her latest edition “The Magical Bird Beach of Long Island in Winter,” features the Snowy Owl and nine other winter birds showing off their beauty and talents. The hardcover books use fun-to-read rhyming prose along with bright, colorful and endearing images to touch the hearts of young children and hopefully, make them future bird lovers and nature advocates. Both are beautiful books, so let’s help support her work! The books are now available on Amazon and other book retailers. She also has signed copies available, while supplies last, just reach out to her on Facebook (www.facebook.com/vickijauron) or email to vicjauron@yahoo.com.
