Learn about Smokey, a young Great Gray Owl, and its explorations through the northern forest in search of a rainbow. Anyone may download a free PDF copy of the entire book!
“Smokey Finds a Rainbow” is getting closer! A March release date expected. I just approved the “proof copy” and the full production print run will start soon. In the meantime anyone may download a free full copy PDF version of my books. Smokey will also be available for free download in March. As always my goal is to break even on my books (not make money); thus pricing will be nominal.
Smokey Finds a Rainbow (front cover image): Smokey is a juvenile Great Gray Owl who flies around the northern forest. The owl wants to see its first rainbow. There are guest appearances by Magnus the Moose and Bert the Dancing Bear!

Project Snowstorm just published an article today which indicates this winter is the worst winter ever for Snowy Owl eBird sightings for which there is good data (since 2004). Sightings across North America are essentially a flat line (see below). Thus, I should be very happy to have seen two different Snowy Owls, multiple times. The article is definitely worth a read. Apparently not only are sightings way down this winter, but breeding success (or even attempts) in the Arctic was almost non existent last summer.With that note, I head off to Hawaii for 2+ weeks … our first ever visit to the island state. Molly and I have a small remote guest house up in the hills / forest on the big island of Hawaii.
