Howdy,

This page is for the more than casual birder.  Whoops, once I started birding, it was no longer casual.  Became a casualty chasing a sighting or sound of a bird. 

OK,  this page is for the near fanatic.

By that I don't just mean the "listers", but those that notice something about behavior.  I don't need a list or field notes to remember the day I saw a female Northern Goshawk take a cotton-tail in dense riparian habitat, at take site, dominated by hackberry (Celtis douglassi), and through ~25 meters of that dense cover, to a slightly more open area in an Alder (Alnus rubra) park, adjacent to a riparian meadow on Sheep Creek in Hells Canyon, on January 18, 1989.  Took a near scalping to notice she was nesting in same Alder Park.  Some things just don't need notes.  (Hmm,  why did I just get up? get something out of the fridge?, was I hungry or thirsty?, to let the dogs in or out? Hmm, where ARE the dogs?, Do I have Dogs?) Anyway, this page is for folks that consider Birds a springboard for further inquiry of the world that surrounds us.  Not just for sightings, but observations of what they are doing, what they eat, habitats where, when, and how they nest, and anything that might be related to the entire world as birds may see it.

Enjoy and have a good adventure
