Klondike Links

Berton House Writers' Retreat: Inspired by renowned Canadian author Pierre Berton and initiated by the Berton House Writers’ Retreat Society, this golden opportunity for writers is now operated by the Writers’ Trust of Canada. I had the privilege of being the Writer in Residence from October to December 2008.

Yukon Genealogy: I made frequent use of this online resource while researching and writing Children of the Klondike. It includes the Dawson City Museum Pan for Gold Database.

Woodpecker Links

Wondering what to do about woodpeckers drumming on or excavating into your house? The Cornell Lab of Ornithology has some good suggestions. (I also address this issue in Woodpeckers of North America.)

Campephilus Woodpeckers: A blog devoted to the fascinating Campephilus genus, which includes the legendary ivory-billed woodpecker. Great photos.
