Michael Good and Sandra Neily two Maine Guides who believe that the more people know about our outdoor assets and the risks they face, the more they’ll support various solutions.

Their presentation, “Live Birds and Deadly Forces,” offers up Good’s short PowerPoint of birds and habitat at risk, a reading from Neily’s last novel along with a drawing for a free copy of it, and plenty of time for comments and questions.

Yankee Magazine chose Michael Good as a Best Birdwatching Guide, writing, “Biologist and Maine Guide Michael Good is simply batty about birds, and he shares his knowledge with avian addicts and newcomers alike. Whether you’re pining to see warblers, falcons, eagles, and hawks or seeking to add a Nelson’s sharptailed sparrow to your life list, Good’s your man.”

Author Sandra Neily is a national award-winner from the Mystery Writers of America and a Maine Literary Award finalist. Michael Good reviewed her “Deadly Turn” novel as “nonstop suspense. Powerful human relationships intermingle with accurate descriptions of forests, ponds, rivers and streams; birds and the people who care about them become symbols of strength and resilience, Neily captures Maine’s northern forest with fierce love and inspired storytelling.”
