Our 2010 Calendar is really beautiful this year, with colorful male songbirds emblazoned on the front cover, their corresponding females on the back cover, and a coupla hundred other bird pictures inside. This includes a full page bird for each month. All shots were mine, and from the past year. Holidays and other special days are on the calendar, as well as GOS trips.

This is one of our main sources of revenue and we especially need help this year! The cost of calendars depends of how many of these (Christmas gifts!) you buy. Here is the breakdown:

The calendars are $20, but you can get 5 or more for $15/per, or 10 or more for $10/per. There will be a modest amount on your invoice for postage.

Just E-MAIL JIM AND SAY HOW MANY YOU WANT, AND INCLUDE YOUR MAILING ADDRESS!!!

Each CD is $70, any two for $120, and all three for $150.
