Hi everyone,

I've been casually birding for 1-2 years and am glad to finally join this forum!
Some birding-relevant things about me...

• Today I've spotted my 117th bird, Golden-crowned Kinglet, on Vancouver Island where I'm visiting for the holidays.
• I don't have a car so it's hard to get around but I do travel overseas a couple of times a year, which I'm finding to be so much more interesting with bird watching.
• I use 10x25 RSPB Avocet binoculars. For ID'ing and recording I use Merlin/eBird, a spreadsheet, and a handwritten journal. Also 7 books on birds - they seem to mysteriously multiply.
• My current bird watching dream targets are i) any owl and ii) kingfisher, which apparently has been seen by everyone except me..
