this year is Dr. Don Kroodsma - author of the <EM>"Singing Life of Birds",</EM>
a book about the art and science of birdsong. In this book he demonstrates
birdsong diversity through 30 carefully chosen examples. He is THE man in the
science of bird song today. His focus and approach to his study is
unique including touring the US on his bicycle, collecting bird songs along
the way. Dr. Kroodsma maintains that there is no better way to hear a continent
sing than by bicycle.</FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
