A newbie says "hi" (1 Viewer)

Hi,

I am Tobi and I am new to the birding community. This summer I discovered my interest in birding when I started observing my surrounding in nature more closely. It actually started photographing butterflies and led me to the fascination of birds. I bought two books and a binocular and began to watch and identify them.
I quickly realized that I want to combine this hobby with my hobby as a photographer, so I just ordered a 200-600mm lens. I also think it might help me much better to identify the birds better, because I can look closely at the picture at home and try to compare them with the description and pictures in my books.

I hope to meet some nice people and maybe the opportunity to get together for a field trip! I am located in southeast PA.

Tobi

BTW, We have a Bird I D section on the Forum so if you get pictures, it will be a lot easier to name it if you upload an image of it

I strongly suggest that you click on the Forums Tab at the top of any page and familiarize yourself with all the categories that we have.

Thank you KC Foggin,

I haven't received the lens yet and I am pretty sure my first pictures will be horrible But I will make myself familiar with the forum for sure

Hi Tobi and a warm welcome from me too. I hope we may be able to see some of your pictures in the Gallery too.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I hope to hear about all the birds you see when out and about.
