I am in Texas right now. I am a grad student studying sustainability. I have seen a lot of birds in my life and travels and even worked on nesting success research in Maine and Utah, when I was an undergraduate at the University of Idaho studying Wildlife Biology. I have taught around 8,000 kids in total, most of whom were in nature camps. I have a lot of experience in the camping industry and environmental education. I taught some of those kids how to bird, if it was part of our curriculum. One of the highlights was seeing an Osprey at a lake with the kids. We were all really impressed. It might have been at Pickering Creek Audubon Center. I can't quite remember, because I have worked at so many camps that I don't remember which birds I saw at each one. I can kinda narrow it down based on the range of the birds and my Sibley's Guide To Birds. I came here to sell my Meopta MeoPro HD 8x42 binoculars because I am going through a financial crisis right now, but thought maybe I can stay to make friends. I'm not sure if I can, but I am trying to. Hopefully it's a learning experience for everyone getting to know me, and a good learning experience for me. I am a lifelong learner. I love to learn. I studied abroad in Madagascar like 20 yrs ago. My favorite bird I saw in Madagascar was the Crested Coua. I loved watching it walking within one foot of my tent in the mornings. I just love its beautiful eye patch. Such great colors.
