On my 21-day Kenyan safaris we reckoned to find around 600 species of birds and around 60 mammals, both impressive totals.

International teams compete for 6 days and 5 nights with the express purpose of recording the most bird species, by sight or by call, while the clock ticks down.

If I want my children to be birders, or at least to appreciate birding, I need them to have good experiences doing it with me. The species has been on my personal radar for North Carolina for years.
