will present a Book Discussion <I>Wild America: What State Is It In?</I>
Free to the public.<BR><I>Wild America</I> by Roger Tory Peterson is his
description of the trip taken with his friend, James Fisher, to American coastal
wilderness areas in 1955. Peterson is known as the ‘Father of Modern Birding’
