Woo- hoo! thanks to the generosity of the great folks at The Hachette Book Group, one lucky winner is going to win a copy of each of George Dawes Green's three books.Including Ravens - being toured today - you can see my review here.
"The Boatwrights just won 318 million dollars in the Georgia State lottery. It's going to be the worst day of their lives...'
The Juror
"Annie Laird is Juror 224. A sculptor with a career going nowhere. A single mother struggling to raise a son. A good citizen who has been summoned to what looks like a rountine tour of civic duty. But the trial she is called to serve on is no ordinary trial. It is a mob trial, whose outcome has been meticulously orchestrated by a man of insidious power and deadly precision. A man who lives by the teachings of Lao Tsu...whose magnetism is irresistible...whose mind is as brilliant as it is twisted. He is know to some as the Teacher, and he's set his sights on Annie Laird.... "
The Caveman's Valentine.
"Romulus Ledbetter wasn't always homeless. He once was a devoted husband, father, and musician with a bright future. He now forages for food in the trash cans of the city's better neighborhoods and wages a strenuous one-man war against Cornelius Gould Stuyvesant, an evil -- and imaginary -- power broker who is responsible for society's ills, as well as the sinister Y- and Z-rays that are corrupting humankind. Then one wintry night, Rom finds a corpse at the mouth of his cave that rouses his well-defined sense of ethics and launches him on an obsessive quest for answers. Forced to reconnect with society, Rom leaves his world and journeys through a spiraling web of clues and hunches, straight into a sinister den of money, temptation, and murder--otherwise known as the "civilized" world. "

I'm intrigued... I always loved the Blue-front Amazons ;-) Parrots with Personality lol
The name of a bird? Well, a Scarlet Tanager flew smack into my kitchen window the other day. Luckily, it recovered!
I'd love to be entered. For a bird, I'll say cardinal. I have a pair of cardinals that sit outside my computer room window each day.

I had a pet budgie as a kid...

We had a pet crow when I was a kid. He could talk and would play outside with us all day then walk on my Dad's shoulder into the house and sleep in his cage at nite!!
At my Dad's funeral, a whole flock of crows came up as we were leaving the cemetery.

Definitely a robin. During a difficult time in my life I turned to prayer and asked for a sign that things would be ok and not hours later, a robin appeared on my window sill in the cold and middle of winter.
I wanted to say Raven since it's at the top of my totem, but it seemed to easy with one of the titles aptly named 'ravens'. So I'll say the Andean Condor, it's one of the heaviest birds of prey.
To be able to fly swift and sure despite it's weight is majestic.
Thanks for the opportunity. Indigo

Thanks for offering such great give-aways. You can find me at yarnista at ymail dot com.
I'm lucky because I live right next door to the World Birding Center and we see birds here that you don't see anywhere else in the US. My favorite bird at the moment, this changes frequently, is the Kiskadee. Check out my blog for cool photos!
I have always loved the Eastern Blue Bird. Although there are not many here, but we do have Cardinals.
The owl - I always heard one during the nights of summer when I was young.
Doves are my favorite. Thanks for the great giveaway!

pigeons, they fascinate me, honestly. the dove element and how you never see baby pigeons...ever...interesting stuff
The purple martin. We have two houses (apartments) that we put up every spring, around late March. When the scouts arrive I always feel that spring has sprung.
roylsue(at)telpage(dot)net
How about the Lyrebird. I love that it will mimic any sound it hears from other birds to a chainsaw, other animals etc. etc.
The males win the females by being able to mimic more sounds then the other males. Variety is the spice of life I guess.
jessica(at)fan(dot)com
There was a new visitor to our yard this year - the rufous-sided towhee, a very pretty and differently marked bird.

I'm going with peacock. We had one adopt us when I was a kid. He didn't like living with the neighbor up the road who raised them so he flew down to us. We called him Snoopy 'cause he always had to come and see what we were doing when we were outside. :0) He was a character and a lot of fun.
Thanks!

Birds?? You are asking me, who lives beside a river full of ducks, about birds?? Well, I like the ducks that don't come in my yard or on my porch and leave behind presents for me to find or stand by my car waiting for food; but, I really like the roosting daddy ducks with little wee ducklings... now they are cute and are allowed in my yard... even among the flowers...
Hmmm I would say a bluejay

I love sparrows. We feed them every chance we get.
One nice thing about the winter walks through the forest is that while most sounds are muffled the woodpeckers noise seems to bounce off all the trees :)
Would love a chance to read these books!
My favorite birds are the White-Breasted Nuthatches. I really enjoy watching them go up & down the trees and they love it when I go outside, because the other birds leave, and they can fly in and take what they want from the feeders.
