The Big Year
The bestselling book The Big Year by Mark Obmarscik is a funny tale of 3 birders competing to be the one who sees the most species in one year. Paperback. Here is the big news, The Big Year movie was released October, 2011, starring Owen Wilson, Jack Black and Steve Martin. Our store was contacted by Fox Productions who bought a ton of stuff from our web site and asked for anything of our own to include, like our store shirts, art prints, logo caps and more. The movie was great, but had very little promotion and only played for 2 weeks. Chances are good it will be on DVD by Christmas. It was really fun and worth checking out. We all went to see it and this is what we found in it from our store: The Big Year Movie The book is a great read: |

Zen Birds
We sold out of this popular little book twice. Since none of us take yoga or meditate, we had no idea the impact this book would have. Inspired by traditional Asian brushwork and haiku, which means beautiful watercolor paintings and one line poems that capture the traits of 30 common North American birds. Folks have told us how calming, inspiring and and happy this book was for them. Now we have a good stock of them. By Vanessa Sorensen. Hardcover.
