I love BIRD Watching!

Stellar Jay- Mt Rainer, WA 2003

I've been a birder since I was 14. When I went to college and took my necessary Orinthology and Wildlife Management courses, I realized my birding hobby was more than a phase, but a lifelong endeavour .

My enthusiam seems to be contagious because my husband is always excited to learn new bird species.

Unfortunately, I do not have the talent of photography so you will not see any stunning or impressive Avian pictures on my travel pages.

WISH LIST- Places I would love to go to soon..

Sagrada Familia

1) Iceland
2) Sweden
3) New Zealand
4) Thailand
5) Brazil

and of course return to Spain and my favorite city- BARCELONA!

Please check back often...I update often!

Hi Shi! I'm so glad you came to the VT Meet and I apologize for taking so long to say it, but then you haven't said it to me either, so now I don't feel so bad! ;-) Let's do it again and I hope to be at the same end of the table with you!
