		<description><![CDATA[The last book review published here at Birder&#8217;s Lounge was way back in July, 2008. Sure, I&#8217;ve started plenty of great books since then, but have not finished any of them. Except one &#8211; which I both started and finished in a matter of weeks.
It has been a month or two since I read Eating [...]]]></description>

Today is Earth Day &#8211; so what does that mean? I did a little research and learned that the first Earth Day was April 22, 1970, and was organized by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson. From Earth Day Network&#8217;s site:
&#8220;On April 22, 20 million Americans took to the streets, parks, and auditoriums to demonstrate for a [...]]]></description>

I was so excited to see my first Belted Kingfisher (Ceryle alcyon), that I didn&#8217;t care if my pictures turned out crappy. My field guide, Birds of Texas, 2007, by Keith A. Arnold and Gregory Kennedy, tells me that if this were a female, she would have a rusty color across her belly. So, I [...]]]></description>

I have just finished reading the book, Life in the Soil &#8211; A Guide for Naturalists and Gardeners, by James B. Nardi, 2007, The University of Chicago Press. This book provided a fun way to learn about a topic that many people may initially think is boring. Not so! I learned not only about how [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just finished reading an excellent book written by Douglas W. Tallamy, called Bringing Nature Home: How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens(2007). Tallamy does an excellent job of explaining how each and every person can give back to nature what we have altered or taken away entirely. Tallamy&#8217;s main focus is on the benefits [...]]]></description>
