The Sad Story Re NY's Beaches


I have been to a number of NY beaches affected by this heartbreaking news of the discovery regarding medical waste washing up on the shore causing them to be closed in order to protect people and I must say maybe beaches need to be closed to the public to protect the ocean from people.

Now I am wondering how the shorebirds who spend time there are faring. A number of varieties of these bird types are featured in posts here on my blog. Moreover, the avian creatures classified as American Oystercatchers (seen below in photos taking during bygone years)

AMERICAN OYSTERCATCHERS ARE FEATURED IN VOL 2

AMERICAN OYSTERCATCHERS ARE FEATURED IN VOLUME 2

who are a shorebird whom I've encountered in my trips to the Long Island beaches are included in volume two of my Words In Our Beak book series...

VOLUMES ONE AND TWO

... which is available on Amazon OR wherever books are sold by giving the seller this ISBN number: 9780996378536.

Not much I can do directly to prevent situations like the ones that are now occurring on Long Island beaches, other than to help raise awareness of the importance and needs of our feathered friends through my posts on social media and my Words In Our Beak book series.

FALL 2018 ADDENDUM: 

Hardcover versions of Volume One, Two and Three can be found wherever books are sold.

MY BOOK SERIES

Please click here to go to my blog post that provides details as to where you can get these books. Additionally, I have rendered some images from these books into other formats and they are available via Fine Art America (FAA). Some of my other photographs (Black & White CollectionKaleidoscopic Images and the famous Mandarin duck who visited NYC) can also be found on my FAA pages.
... I've been advised to make mention of my early versions of volume one of Words In Our Beak, they do vary ever so slightly in content from the hard-cover version of volume one. 

ADDENDUM SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER 2021:

When the third volume of the hard-cover version of Words In Our Beak was released, I withdrew from promoting my former versions of Words In Our Beak. 

The very first one is an iBook and went into Apple's book store in 2015.


This was followed by an ePub version...


..that is available on Amazon and was also published in 2015.

Subsequently, Words In Our Beak's digital versions were published as a soft-cover book (with slight variations) by MagCloud in 2017.


Its press release can be read by clicking here.  [The press release does note my Kindle version of the digital Words In Our Beak, but I withdrew it from Amazon a few years ago and at this time, I do not intend to make it live again.]

Now with the release of BIRD TALES....


... I've been advised to make mention of my early versions of volume one of Words In Our Beak, they do vary ever so slightly in content from the hard-cover version of volume one.

As of this addendum, I do not intend to create digital or soft-cover versions of Words In Our Beak Volume Two or Words In Our Beak Volume Three.
