Any day of birding in New York State that includes a sighting of a Vesper Sparrow is a better-then-average day.

I am a birder, and I love birds. I don’t mind that they share the world with other creatures, and I have even developed an appreciation for mammals, reptiles and amphibians – but only so long as watching them doesn’t collide with my finding birds.
