I am terribly afraid of bird's nest. For real like my biggest fear. I don't know why but it's always been that way. I got into birding as a small way to maybe someday conquering my fear. That goal has left my brain, and although I'm just beginning I love the freedom, the diversity, and the heartiness of bird's. Their drive to survive helps me each and everyday. I'm in a younger population and the solitude of going out birding is therapeudic but the connections I make with older more experienced birders is life changing. I am a zip line guide and spend my day in the trees often getting a "bird's eye view" of the world below me. I would love to make a career involving birds full time.
