I’m a birder who has lived in North San Diego County for the last 5 year. Originally from the east coast I grew up watching colorful songbirds come to my backyard. While spending time traveling Latin America, I got back into birding, enjoying exploring what each area had to offer. Since then I’ve used birding as a way to enrich my travels. I’m fascinated by the variety of birds in the world and all their unique behaviors. In San Diego, I love checking out different kinds of habitats to take full advantage of the biodiversity in the county. More recently I’ve been working on improving my sound ID skills, connecting with more birding community events, and tracking down a few local species that have eluded me.

    This book had some fantastic passages. The detail that Baker captures about the life of a falcon is impressive and offers an interesting window into this bird of prey. But I struggle to see who I can recommend it to. I only see the most bird obsessed people making it...

  5. It was really great to be back on the lake in New Hampshire with family. Other than some smoke, the weather was great. The green trees were a welcome contrast to California dry sumer. We swam, kayaked to the island, picked blueberries, played chess, ate ice cream, and slept in....
