Musical Birds of Nevada

About the Book

This lighthearted book is about enjoying music and why, when and how birds sing, migrate, make love and have the earliest music skills. It is a story of our fellow creatures such as the Yellow-rumped Warbler and the Snowbird found in the woodlands, wetlands and backyards of Nevada. This little volume, enhanced by cartoons will inform and amuse the naturalist and music lover. What makes this so delightful is its quaint humor combining music, birds and Nevada, a subject readily intelligible to even those unfamiliar with musical birds of the silver state.

About the Author

C.G.(George) Griffith, who lives in Reno, Nevada with his wife Suzanne, is a member of the Lahontan Audubon Society, and a famous would-be ornithologist, and enjoys birding trips in the Reno-Lake Tahoe area, his home of nineteen years. Born in Paris and spending his early years on a Missouri farm, he developed an interest in birds and all forms of nature, science and music. He has participated in choral music throughout his life, and led the "Mountainairs" men's quartet for twelve years at Lake Tahoe. He is not guilty of atonality. He worked on radar while sailing the open seas in the U.S.Navy and has a Masters in Electrical Engineering. He had a career with GTE in product development and international planning, an assignment in the International Telecommunications Union in Geneva in the preparation and organization of the World Telecommunications Year and was President of Communications Resource Technologies providing technology services. He has presented technical papers in sixteen foreign cities from Teheran to Petah-Tikva, but now prefers a more light-hearted approach to communications choosing to focus on the Mourning Dove, Quail, Meadowlark(Mozart of the fields) and Song Sparrow. "Musical Birds of Nevada" is a book to take under one's wing.
