All my close friends know I'm a birder.

Oddly enough, my favorite bird is the crow.

I could watch them all day. I think of them as the teenagers of the bird world. Smart. Playful. Full of energy.

One of the things I love most about birdwatching is where the birds take me.

They get me outside.
They lead me to places I might otherwise miss.
They spark conversations, shared memories, and community.
