Xaviana Leis has turned her love for birds into a book. Xaviana started when a bird activist visited her Girl Scout troop and that inspired her to start volunteering with the Owl Moon Raptor Center.
When she had to pick a project for the Girl Scout Bronze Award, it was an easy choice for Xaviana.
"She decided on a bird book. (She) painted dozens of birds by hand and added facts about each one. She also sold her original bird paintings at her Girl Scout event, 'Ecofest,' to raise money to buy fishing line recycling pipes to keep birds safe," said Dombi-Leis.
Xaviana has sold more than 700 copies of her book, so far. Several bookstores are selling the book including:
- Vintage By the Bay - Deale
- Wild Birds Unlimited - Lexington Park
- Wild Birds Unlimited - La Plata
- Caprichos Books - Ocean Pines
These stores are donating all of the proceeds to help birds. You can buy one online here.
