​This delightful book, by long time Whidbey Island Pigeon Guillemot surveyor Govinda Holtby and her husband, Matt, is a fundraiser for two non-profits: LittleBIGFest and Whidbey Audubon Society/Salish Sea Guillemot Network. Grateful Birds takes a look at 40 Grateful Dead songs, and pairs them with 40 Washington State birds, plus an encore bird and song. We carve the connection between birders and deadheads. The book is filled with fun facts, unusual facts, and interesting facts about the bird and or the song that it is paired up with.
