We've had such an overwhelming response from people who are placing orders for Chris' newly released book "Birds We See" in Baja California Sur, Mexico that our publisher is having trouble with their ordering website! While we are very excited to see this kind of response, we truly regret any inconvenience this may have caused. Chris has been on the phone for hours with his publisher trying to get these issues resolved. We have been told by the publisher that the problem has now been fixed. Again, we are very sorry for any inconvenience. If you continue to have problems when ordering, please contact Chris at Chris@BirdsWeSee.com.
