"I grew up in central Virginia and have birded casually all of my life. We always had a birdfeeder out the kitchen window frequented by cardinals, chickadees, titmouse, nuthatch. I recently (past 2 years) became much more engaged in birding through the influence of my middle sister and her husband. We bird together on trips to other family members' and trade stories. I frequently go to Tinicum, but am having fun discovering new places to bird."
