My wife and I keep a record of the birds we've seen in our yard....32 species in 8 years...
Does that make me a "birder"?
Maybe not...
I don't think I've ever taken a pic of a bird...your pics are great..
Wish I did have a camera yesterday, when I watched an eagle swoop down and catch him a squirrel... that was crazy. Poor little squirrel....happened over on Pine Island, FL... Lots of eagles there...
