Band of Brothers
Audubon members have already received their May-June issue of Audubon, the national magazine. Perhaps you put yours aside for later. Perhaps you didn’t even open it based on the cover, a dark picture of an oil rig in northeastern Pennsylvania, thinking “This is just too depressing.” Let us give you hope and a lighter view: Turn to Page 66 first. Yes, those ARE Rosyfinch photos taken in the Sandias. Keep reading. Yes, these are our very own, at-home-in-New-Mexico “young birders” and devoted researchers and activists. Take hope. Get involved. You don’t have to have known Ryan to be affected by his magic. Find your own — and then spread some. We really are all in this together. Link to full article in Audubon Magazine
