Hi guys,
Well the Book is finally out!

that?s at least one.

The book is titled ? BIRDWATCHING WITH BUBBA? by
Elbert Greer

ISBN#: 1-4010-3643-0
I?m marketing it on the Internet

I prefer Xlibris.com/bookstore, it?s faster and I make
more royalties.

hey, gay (and elbert), i checked out the xlib- whatever link, and there is quite a bit about elbert & his book. i thought it looked extremely interesting. i want to get one too. just go to the site, put his title in the search, and read the excerpt and bio. very cool.

one question for elbert: if i buy it at my local B&N, do you still get $$? if it is better for you, i would get it on-line. if poss, pls answer me asap.

you can count me as a 'very near-future' purchaser.

GAY - Read the excerpt for the secret to Bubba.

We ordered one through Xlibris.com. The excerpt was great. Can't wait to get it in the mail!

yes, gay. if you just read the excerpt, all questions will be clear, or moot, or both.

it was worth the read anyway. i could just picture it.

elbert, i got a B&N store 15 minutes from me, but i will buy it at xlib just for you. best of luck with this.

Just ordered a copy for our friend Katherine, an avid birder. She just came back for India where she saw 115 birds she had never seen before (not to mention the tigers). Also some extremely raunchy statuary and friezes. (She has pictures, for which she may be arrested in Weston.)

But maybe this will entice her to come with us on one of our trips to Belize, in spite of the lack of "curious" friezes in SP.

they WERE taken with telephoto! i have a 10x zoom on this thing. haven't seen a digital with higher that wasn't $$$$.

all but the cormorants were taken from inside my house. and those dang cormorants were like 40-50 ft up that tree. amazing. we sat there for a long while. people kept walking past and no one else even noticed them. i don;t think they are that common 'round here.

I just don't understand why ya need to read a book about watching birds. Its really easy! Just look at the bird and then if it flys, follow it with your eyes. No Problemo!!

Hi Friends: Speaking of Birds, my sliver of land up against the Lagoon of San Pedro, has become the habitat of Wood Storks. The birds come and go out past San Pedrito on Dr Elmers Old Property. We have Great Blue Heron, Roseate Spoonbills, Reddish Egets, White Ibis and an assortment of other birds. Birdwatchers are always welcome to visit me out in the White Fourplex way out at the end of the road, "in" the water. Evenings and Mornings are the best times to view the greatest number of birds. Bring ya running shoes, we also have some Crocks. Take care: Bill

Elbert --

Just read the first three sections last night. We actually interupted our current Edith Wharton (we read aloud to one another) to read some of the book.

It is delightful! I think we have to order another for Katherine -- This one's for us.

Buba,Just started reading your book.Very funny esp the part about you discovering your brains.I don't know if you remember this or not but we met at Casa Caribe two New Year's ago.You came up to me to visit and I asked you to lay down and take a load off.You quickly plopped down and licked my foot.Wish I had known then that you would become famous, I would have asked for a paw print.
My yellow lab, Bailey, is also reading your book during the day.Not sure if he likes to read it or just chew the pages.Anyway nice going.
Oh, and tell Elbert that he did good too.
See you in May!
Steve, Robin and Bailey
