Blog
Birding for me started out as a solitary thing, but I very soon found myself sharing the experience with others, sometimes accidentally, sometimes on purpose, and I’ve discovered there’s a joy in doing so; that sharing my journey is making it fuller and richer. Sometimes, the more the merrier really does hold true, which brings me to this blog. And to you. Come share my journey becoming a birder in the small town and beyond.
