Just wanted to introduce myself to the other birders out there. My name is Lilly and I'm a life-long birding enthusiast. I mean I love 'em all. You know how some folks don't like certain birds, like the European Starling, for example, probably because they are so common, I like 'em just fine. Saw one in my backyard who had perfectly mimicked a Pacific Treefrog call, pretty amazing coming out of that bird! Some highlights I've encountered over the years: A White Stork flying over a field in Kent, WA. had to go to my world birds book for ID as these birds only occur in Europe, a male Cerulean Warbler landed on the ground 10 feet from me while I was waiting in line for the outdoor privy in Eastern Wa. while camping, taught me a valuable lesson to bring my camera no matter where I'm heading. A few winters ago we saw 50 Western Bluebirds feeding on a snowy highway in Eastern Washington in January. We were driving slowly so as not to hit any of the bluebirds, it was just amazing to see so many at once and so out of season for that region. Looking forward to reading your posts and sharing the love of birding with you all.

Hi, right back atcha, t-town...I love birding too.  It appears that you have had some wonderful birding experiences.  Yes, I have also learned to take my camera (and extra batteries) everywhere I go. 

I also look forward to sharing and learning along with you.

Happy Birding!

Thank you for the nice welcome. So far this year I have confined my birding experiences to my backyard feeder and commuting to work. But that's better than no birding at all. We have some regulars at the feeder, Oregon Juncos, House Sparrows, Starlings, Black-capped Chickadees, Stellar and Scrub Jays and House Finches. The commute usually provides Red-tailed Hawks and the occasional Bald Eagle and a personal favorite, Great Blue Heron. This site provides an opportunity to communicate with other birders and the fun of sorting out mystery birds! Happy birding to you, too!

Another birder welcome from a former Washingtonian.
