This is a great example of a brightly-colored finch-sized bird that is not commonly seen, that can be found in our area from spring to fall. Photo by Alex Ross _____________________________ Highland resident and alumni Alex Ross has had curiosity for nature since he was a kid. With a hard drive full of photos, the graphic designer imagined assembling a project where he could share a hidden gem amidst the congested south suburbs in NWI. Just a few blocks from his neighborhood, where his family has resided for generations, the Highland Rookery (or Cline Avenue Marsh) is easily accessible and offers plenty of natural beauty to see through the year. Over the last few years Alex has been exploring the hobbies of photography and bird watching while documenting what is present as the seasons change. After applying in January 2022 for the Highland Community Foundation’s “Highland has Art” grant, an open art grant focused on the town, Alex received word in March that they would financially support a portion of the project. With 13 plus years graphic design experience with his former employer mixdesign inc, he is more than familiar with layout, copywriting, editing and preparing files for print. While taking on all aspects of the book’s creation to save thousands on publishing costs, the goal of releasing the book in time for the holidays was quite ambitious. After the task of narrowing down 50,000+ to under 300 images, the photo-focused book started quickly coming together. Instead of sorting birds and animals scientifically, the book will guide you through a calendar year, documenting what visits and stays at the Highland Rookery. “Some days I see nothing

and just get a nice walk in.” Alex said. “Other days I have to convince myself to leave because there is so much to take in. This describes the hobby of birding or birdwatching in a nutshell. An opportunity can present itself any minute.” The book takes you through a calendar year, offering insight to those interested in the hobby of birding an idea of what you might see through different months in our area. The 160+ page, 11” x 8.5” hard cover book will include 200+ photos, 100+ unique species of birds, as well as butterflies, bugs, and other animals. The book’s images will be accompanied with descriptions that will touch on facts or habits of the birds or animals, or detail the experience behind capturing the moment. The book is currently in its pre-sale phase as the final details are squared away before the book goes to print. If you would like to meet the author and pre-order your book for $45 in person, Alex will have a table at the Highland Fire Dept. Openhouse on Saturday October 8th from 11am-3pm on Highway Avenue in Downtown Highland. To pre-order your copy online (before Oct 20th deadline), visit Facebook.com/HighlandRookeryBook and see the recent post with preorder details. If you have questions for the author, feel free to reach out to alexross84@yahoo.com. The book will be available for sale in person for $50 at the Promise You Art House after the official release event there on Kennedy Ave in Downtown Highland in December. Keep an eye out for the official release event date and details.
