I love BIRD Watching!

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.
Stellar Jay- Mt Rainer, WA 2003
Sagrada Familia

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

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

 Congratulations Shi! I've been planning to check out your Hawaii pages, that must've been a really great trip!

 I love your pictures!!! Enjoy Mammoth Cave - my friend and I thought it was so cool! Caves are 54 degrees so bring layers, that way if you do a strenuous walking tour you can shed the sweat shirt! :)
