I know too much. It’s becoming a problem. Sometimes I miss being a birding beginner. More people than ever are out birding these days. Many came to it later in life, and they regret not starting sooner. Well, I’m here to tell you, there’s a downside to starting young. Most of my astonished delight in finding a new bird is decades behind me. The newer you are to birding, the more new birds there are to find, often right in your own neighborhood. And we have birds. Lots of them. Some of them are pretty spectacular. ~ Bob Duchesne
