The thrill of seeing the birds, whether I can put a name on it or not, and especially not knowing the wing load, makes birdwatching the best.

All our vacations are based on where the birds are and where we might get life birds and have the opportunity to meet other bird watchers.<br />We like bird festivals.<br />We feed and watch birds in the yard.<br />I am willing to bet I have just as much,if not more, fun than some one who has a degree.Rondeau Richttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13740342799585280444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-19072280122696277962011-10-07T12:28:44.029-04:002011-10-07T12:28:44.029-04:00I'm a birdwatcher - backyard, roadside, downto...I'm a birdwatcher - backyard, roadside, downtown lunch hour ...

I can only bird by myself as the birders in my area won't accept that I know anything (I've been birding for 40+ yrs) and won't even talk to me! I don't care I go and bird on my own and don't tell anyone what I see anyways.Reid Barclaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552045987668023231.post-48218221136908391992011-10-06T15:25:04.530-04:002011-10-06T15:25:04.530-04:00I thnk so many of us can completely relate to this...I thnk so many of us can completely relate to this.
