Mystery Hawk at My Feeder Ornithological Study |
| I have always liked watching
and feeding birds but it was not until 1997 when I actually began to "go
birding." I was on assignment in Norway,and found myself hiking near
Oslo on the weekends. That was not so exciting, so I bought a pair of Swifts,
a Norwegian Fugler guide, brought along my dad's old Peterson guide and
started to identify what I saw on my long hikes and trips to the fjords.
Then I started to bird on my business trips to the UK or Raleigh NC, and
began to go out with 'real birders' who taught me what to look and listen
for. I knew I was hooked when I planned a vacation to Maine just to see
the puffins. My goals: to see 100 species in my yard in a year and to match
all of the birds that my dad ticked off in his 1956 Peterson guide.
