    Worst Months For Birding Where You Live?

    January and February have been fantastic in Hamilton, Ontario. Best winter ever. The question is where do I go for May, and how much will it cost.

    Twitchers! Are any of you purely and simply "listers"?

    I cringe when birding is described as being a hobby. If you are a hardcore birder, it's hardly a hobby. Who cares if people just want to tick off species on a list. If that makes them happy, I would go out of my way to help them find something.

    Drive 700 miles to the Hooded Crane, then back for the Skua on Thursday, fly to Canada for the Smew at Whitby, then to Arizona for Nuttings on Saturday. Wow. What a way to finish the year.
