Summer Birds

I am keeping author Matt Seek’s excellent article for future reference [Birds of Summer, August, Page 22]. It had it all — fascinating results of scientific bird research, delightful writing, myth-busting, helpful photo identifications, and even philosophy.

My Favorite

My grandson, Charlie Spencer, age 8, loves your magazine. He wrote the following letter:

Your magazine is my favorite. You always include inspiring pictures of animals in nature. With your bird pictures, I can sometimes spot them at my house. Your magazine helps me to identify the fish I catch. You also include a map with the location. That helps my family go there on our own. Thank you for your magazine.

Fair Fun

My family and I recently attended the Missouri State Fair for the first time. The first activity for us was a presentation by MDC agents Matt and Crystal and their dogs, Chuck and Cedar. Your whole team did a fantastic job. We found the information fascinating and engaging. Our family is not super outdoorsy, so we learned a lot about stuff we just had never taken time to consider, like police work on state operated land. Matt and Crystal and their canine colleagues made my day, and I’ve been telling my coworkers how it was the highlight of my fair experience.
