Daily birding in my own hometown added to the joy of seeing common species in uncommon circumstances, like a Bald Eagle perched on a Destin sand dune. I am determined to instill the same love for the natural landscape in my friends and family, especially any new, tiny members. Not so much.

I just enjoyed a lightning strike visit to NYC for family and fun, then endured the trip back home.

Feeding birds is generally regarded as a harmless past-time, a wholesome way for people to share nature and enjoy wildlife with the family.
