"ADOPT" A NICARAGUAN BIRD

There is a creative initiative intended to assist in the creation of a
Spanish-language Nicaraguan guide to birds. This is specifically an=20
effort
to illustrate all the birds from Nicaragua through the first "Field=20
Guide
to the Birds of Nicaragua," a combined project of a number of=20
hard-working
Nicaraguan birders and ornithologists. The illustrations are the work of
Augusto Silva, who has worked with the project from the start. The
ambitious goal is to publish the guide in 2006.

The adoption-plan consists of financing individual bird-drawings with a
$25-dollar contribution for each species. If you wish, you can even pick
out the species! In exchange, you will receive a final copy of the=20
original
sponsored drawing.

If you want to "adopt" a bird you should contact and send a
$25-contribution to:
