Scottsdale author Jim Burns will lead a free bird walk August 10th, at Boyce Thompson Arboretum State Park, and then autograph copies of his latest book following the tour. Burns' guided two-hour walking tour begins at 6:30 am.
He will autograph copies of his new book "Jim Burns' Arizona Birds: From the Backyard to the Backwoods" immediately following the walk. The book is an entertaining mix of biology and personal experiences, which makes it easy to learn about birds, and find them. Burns has photographed birds all across North American for more than 15 years.
