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)
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Visit 10 new "hotspots" (popular birding sites like parks, gamelands and sanctuaries)
It can be a fun hobby! In the UK, we have something called The Big Garden Birdwatch, which tries to get everyone involved in bird-watching, all from the comfort of their home.
I've tried to photograph birds too, and it's definitely difficult.
