About Me
- Name: Bill Thompson, III
- Location: Southeastern, Ohio, United States
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.

Do you know there is a website where you can link up to other Haikus and poets? It's called One Single Impression. Who knew you were a poet at heart? This misty field would inspire anyone to write poetry. What a lovley image.
Thanks Kathie! I will check it out.
Yes Bill,
This is indeed a great Pic and Prose!

But it isn't prose at all . . .
That is one beautiful picture.
I love this one and the bobolink photo. Yum.
I saw someone wearing a t-shirt right after I had read your post-
it said:
Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense

Janet:
That's hilarious!
