Dear  , 


We just got in some amazing new bird books and I wanted to make sure you had seen them all.
  
In addition to these new releases we wanted to let you know that the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Audubon are getting ready for the 16th Great Backyard Bird Count this coming Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday (February 15-18th.) When you enter your bird sightings you will receive a special discount code for all Thayer Birding Software DVDs and Cornell Lab audio guides - so look for the special promotional code!
  
For the first time this program is open to anyone in the world! Tell your friends living overseas about this birding event - or hop on a plane and let us know what you see in Costa Rica this weekend!!
  
Good Birding,  Pete Thayer
