There is so much many of us take for granted. For example, your example of applying to a university — and especially grad school — many schools still don’t teach the basis of this and what the process is like. I will most certainly include this in this writing, whatever style I choose to go with!

Wonderful! Thanks so much again! Looking forward to hearing from him. Happy New Year!

Please feel free to email me: lpharr@ncsu.edu. Would love to continue to connect and bounce off some ideas!

And also, please tell him that I thank him for the work he is doing!

I would absolutely love to be connected with your spouse — please tell him he is free to email me! lpharr@ncsu.edu

Ooooo I absolutely LOVE the chapbook idea! Thanks!

Yes — TY! I also absolutely loved (and maybe even used, but linked straight to your webpage) you take on class projects and interviews, cause bruh. 💀 I have never felt more seen.

@astrokatie.com
Any ideas? Considering that I know you may probably have, or know people, who this happens to often?

It’s not that I wouldn’t want to personally mentor them, it’s just that my time is limited right now. I’m looking into getting a mentoring program started, but those things take time, especially while I wait for other already established programs who may want to partner on this.

Seeking Advice:
I have tons of younger minorities (late elementary on) reach out to me to ask for mentoring advice on how to navigate and enter the field of wildlife. I’d like to maybe write an instructional book of some sort? Idk. What format or approach would you take with this?

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, all that jazz. 🎷🎄

- Love, your favorite birder. 🐦🪶

Yep! This is the one I purchased. It was listed today! Thx.

UPDATE:
Found it on eBay — I had looked before but there was one just listed TODAY!
YEE YEE!

Book cover reading: the evolution of avian breeding systems by J. David Ligon.

A complete long shot, but would anyone happen to have this book and be willing to sell it to me? Thx for looking!
