My name is Bill and I am a bird watcher...
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.

Another beautiful warbler photo, and another one on my "haven't got it" list. I can't believe you take such great pictures of warblers and I can't even see them. Today doing my weekly field survey, I heard no less than 4 Blue-winged Warblers and couldn't see even one of them. Very discouraging.

Great blog! I've never heard of the Blogger site, but I'm going to look more into it.
I just discovered a bluebird nest with 3 eggs on my deck nesting box. I wish I had one that could open as yours does. I'll have to be satisified with peering through the hole.

We'll get you some warblers in WV. And a worm-eating, too.
Michelle:
Boxes that open are pretty important if you really want to monitor your birds.
We saw worm-eating warblers in the Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve in Ft. Myers, FL a couple of weeks ago during Sanibel trip...we don't see them in this part of So. Dakota.

Also daily visits with 12 of your dazzling "ladies in pink tights" (black-necked stilts)in the bayou at Bowman's Beach, Sanibel. Very cool!
Dude! You rock! I have been away from electronic media for a very long time, so I am just catching up with all your blog entries and I am loving the bird photos you are getting. The blind is fab. Now I want one too!
