My name is Michael Barath, from Ohio, US. I'm trying to return to birding after a 30 year hiatus. I used to consider myself fairly good, but not any more. These past couple of months have been quite humbling. However, even when I'm out in the field somewhere and I am frustrated because I'm so rusty, just being in the woods, or in a swamp, or at the shore, is good for my soul. I'm very happy to have found this forum.

Thanks Sue. It's something I haven't allowed myself for many years. I spent Friday at Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, OH, US, almost 11 hours. There were way too many people at the most popular locations, but at sunset I was alone, with a cool wind blowing off Lake Erie. I was absolutely alone, at least relative to other people. But all around me were the sounds of swans, coots, a sora, and some warblers. That did more to restore balance than just about anything else I can think of. Can you relate to that? I think you can.

You are most definitely right.
Thank you, and it was. I'm curious - what does a Picture Picker do?

Hi Michael and a warm welcome from me too.
I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I hope to hear about all the birds you see when out and about.
