#NotesFromTheRiver – That’s Just Ducky!
This week’s #NotesFromTheRiver is an overview of a new series of posts on ducks and duck-like waterfowl that make their home at least part of the year in the St. Johns River Basin area. I’ll be sharing lots of cool info on seven different species of beautiful and interesting birds, so I hope you’ll check out today’s introduction, and follow along over the next few weeks. And feel free to share far and wide! The ducks, coots, mergansers, grebes and gallinules will thank you for it.

The Beacon’s #WestVolusiaCounty Visitor’s Guide Article
Since I’m currently vertical for a short time, though still coughing like mad, I thought I’d take a moment to share this very nice article about St. Johns River Eco Tours (and me), which is currently being featured in the Volusia County Visitors Guide. It was distributed widely throughout the county, and is a handout at the visitors center, as well, so lovely publicity for both the tours and my books.
I’ve mentioned before how much I enjoy building a local readership, and how loyal mine is becoming. I can’t recommend exploring opportunities of this sort enough. Put on your thinking caps and find local venues for readings, signings, and any other form of meeting the public you can find. These folks are simply the best support you can get, not only for direct purchases, but for helping spread the word about your books. And as an extra bonus, it is a JOY to meet readers face to face, answer their questions, and take note of what they like (or don’t like) about your books. I look forward to each and every event I have on my calendar, and count myself lucky to have these chances to get to know my readers.

For those who have been following my Wednesday nature posts on the St. Johns River Eco Tour blog, here’s the link to today’s, which compares the tricolored heron to the little blue heron, and shows you an easy way to identify which one is which. (Thanks for the idea, Kass.)

Just Up: This Week’s #NotesFromTheRiver – Eastern Coral Snake
Just finished posting about a beautiful little creature I really wanted to share with folks. In addition to some misinformation that needed to be cleared up, the post will tell you the easiest way to immediately tell a coral snake apart from the two harmless mimics that share its habitat. Check it out, if you have time! Hope you’ll enjoy the post, learn something new, and will pass it along. Thanks!
