I used to go birding all the time, then kids and work, etc. I actually worked on a Northern Spotted Owl survey many years ago. Since this pandemic I've been trying to find ways to get outside. Birding is the perfect excuse, so I'm kinda starting over again with my girlfriend and some other friends. Found a great new place to hang out in Omaha (a beautifully preserved wetland). Wood Ducks, Mallards, and a Great Blue Heron today.
