A royalty and advance for the birds

Consistent with all of our other projects, we are donating a portion of the proceeds from this book to bird-related charities: "royalty" of at least 10% of the book's net profits with an “advance” of $3,500 already donated to the Wild Bird Fund in New York City, the International Owl Center in Minnesota and EGE in Germany. In addition, a number of the photo contributors to Finding Flaco asked that donations (totaling an additional $825) be made to the Wild Bird Fund in lieu of payment. 

Since August 2021 and as of November 2024, we have raised a combined sum of over $15k—which we have supplemented with our own giving—for the Wild Bird Fund, NYC Bird Alliance (fka New York City Audubon), and NYC Plover Project through our photography and related initiatives. We hope that this book will be another cornerstone of our efforts to support bird-related causes we love.
