Welcome to the first post of the Baby Birder! I have chosen the name because I'm just beginning to bird. I end up spending as much time watching as I do looking up what I've just seen, but you've got to start somewhere! That being said, I am completely open to suggestions if you think I've identified something incorrectly, or have ideas of what it may be! I welcome the knowledge. I love photography, and chances are, if I don't have a picture of it, I'm not going to identify it correctly... consequently I have my camera with me at all times, and take way too many pictures. I'm currently shooting with a Nikon Coolpix S10, 6.1mp 10x optical zoom, but hopefully soon will be upgrading to a Nikon D80 DSLR (though I do borrow one now from time to time.) I love to go naturing in the woods (or adventuring as my dog Benji calls it) and we find lots of neat stuff adventuring. His favorite are the chippymunks and skwirlls and deers, I tend to go for the birds, moss, mushrooms, and trees. To each their own :)
