Review Cheyenne bird book debutsBy Barb GorgesI am very good at procrastinating. How about you? But Ive discovered there are some advantages.From 2008 to 2010, I wrote "Bird of the Week" blurbs for the Wyoming Tribune Eagle to run in those sky boxes at the top of the To Do section pages. But they needed photos.I asked one of the Wyobirds e-list subscribers from Cheyenne, Pete Arnold. Pete invites people to join his own e-list, where he shares his amazing bird photos. He generously agreed.Using the checklist of local birds prepared by Jane Dorn and Greg Johnson for the Cheyenne-High Plains Audubon Society, I chose 104 of the most common species and set to work figuring out which weeks to assign them to. Pete perused his photos and was able to match about 90 percent.We eventually met in person-at Holliday Park. Pete stopped on his way to work one morning to snap waterfowl photos and I was walking a friends dog and counting birds. We discovered we have several mutual friends.By the time our two-year project was over, Id heard about making print-on-demand books, uploading files via internet for a company to make into a book. I rashly promised Pete Id make a book of our collaboration. After the paper published BOW, I had all the rest of the rights to the text. And Ive had college courses in editing and publishing.Heres where my procrastination comes in. Over the next six years my family had three graduations, three weddings, three funerals and two households to disassemble, not to mention my husband Mark retired and wanted to travel more.Finally, a couple years ago, I gave print-on-demand a trial run. I realized then the bird book would be beyond my talents and software. I discovered, through the social media site LinkedIn, that Tina Worthman designed books in her spare time. Wed started talking when she got the job as director of the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens. No more spare time.However, Tina recommended Chris Hoffmeister and her company, Western Sky Design. What a great match--shes a birder! I didnt have to worry about her mismatching photo and text. And she could speak to Pete about image properties and other technicalities.The book features a 6 x 6-inch image of each bird. Chris asked Pete to provide bigger image sizes, since the small ones hed used for the paper would be fuzzy. He also had to approve all the cropping into the square format. But the upside of my procrastination is he had more photos to choose from.Meanwhile, even though the WTE features editor at the time, Kevin Wingert, had originally edited BOW, I sent my text for each species, and all the other parts of the book (introduction, acknowledgements, word from the photographer, bird checklist, resources list), to Jane Dorn, co-author of the book Wyoming Birds. Another friend, Jeananne Wright, a former technical writer and editor, and non-birder, caught a few ambiguities and pointed out where Id left non-birders wondering what I meant.The title of the book was the last step. Instead of naming it Bird of the Week, two years worth of bird images and written bird impressions/trivia are organized differently. The title is "Cheyenne Birds by the Month, 104 Species of Southeastern Wyomings Resident and Visiting Birds."It took part of a village to make this book and we are hoping the whole village will enjoy reading it.
