Adventures in Birding

by spidey

Rated: E · Book · Animal · #2144519

a place to express my love for birds

This is a blog/journal about birds and birding. I grew up watching birds, as I lived in a rural area with farms, fields and forests. As an adult, I got into "serious" birding around the year 2015 when I went on my first "guided" bird walk at a local state park in Pennsylvania. In 2017, I kept track of how many different species I could spot in one year, which was 137. In 2017, I saw 201 species!

So I have some goals for 2019:

Five "lifers" (A "lifer" is a bird I have never seen/identified before)

Enter a checklist every day on www.ebird.org

Visit 10 new "hotspots" (popular birding sites like parks, gamelands and sanctuaries)
