Today was the monthly
WCAI book show with Mindy Todd on
The Point. We hope you got to hear Dennis Minsky and Jill Erickson talk about bird books. We had such big piles of bird books, we think we'll be doing another bird book show in the fall! Sorry we were pre-recorded today, so you couldn't call in with your favorites, but if you have a favorite bird book, please add a comment to our list! Miss the show? You can listen
here!
