I am 43 years old and have always had an interest in nature (especially birds). I began birding at about 15-20 years of age when I found Bill Boyle's book in the library and realized the wealth of birds in New Jersey. Until then I thought most of the birds in my field guide lived elsewhere. Since then I have become a more active birder as the years pass. My favorite local birding spot is Palmyra Cove. (I can even bird for 1-2 hours before work in the Spring!) I've participated in CBC's, WSB and want to continue getting more involved in birding.
