My name is Bill and I am a bird watcher...
Here's how things typically go on field trips at birding festivals—at least how I prefer them to go on field trips that I lead...
The Life Bird Wiggle.Labels: birding field trips, The Life Bird Wiggle
Bill Thompson III is the editor of Bird Watcher's Digest by day. He's also a keen birder, the author of many books, a dad, a field trip leader, an ecotourism consultant, a guitar player, the host of the "This Birding Life" podcast, a regular speaker/performer on the birding festival circuit, a gentleman farmer, and a fungi to be around. His North American life list is somewhere between 667 and 669. His favorite bird is the red-headed woodpecker. His "spark bird" was a snowy owl. He has watched birds in 25 countries and 44 states. But his favorite place to watch birds is on the 80-acre farm he shares with his wife, artist/writer Julie Zickefoose. Some kind person once called Bill "The Pied Piper of Birding" and he has been trying to live up to that moniker ever since.

Thanks for the great field trip, Bill. The bank swallow was a lifer for me.

I know that spot! Saw my first (and so far only) Ohio Canada Warbler there last year.
I did the Life Bird Wiggle last week for my Life Black Terns.
Thanks for the memories,
