In 2001, Michelle and I got into birding as a hobby. After a couple of birding trips we were hooked and now carry our binoculars everywhere. We had always been hikers and loved the outdoors so this was a natural progression for us. You can find us out hiking and birding almost every weekend. In 2002 we helped form a bird watching club in Buchanan County, Virginia. Our love of nature has led us to make three birding trips out West, one to Florida and two pelagic trips (links below). We recently moved to Kentucky and are starting to learn the local birding and hiking spots in the Lexington area. "Chance favors the trained mind".....Louis Pasteur |

Here are some narratives and video links to our birding trips out West and to Florida. The picture to the right is us after our climb up Half Dome in Yosemite.

Miscellaneous Trip Write-ups and Pictures: The vast majority of the pictures I've taken in the past five years of birding trips can be found on my Pbase Site (over 5,000 pics). In addition, if you are interested in a particular area - such as butterflies, fungi, or herps - then you should visit the Flora and Fauna of Appalahia section that compiles pictures in these different areas. I've also included a few older
links from 2002-2003 that people may find interesting: |

In 2006, our club
in Buchanan County hosted the Virginia Society of Ornithology Annual meeting at
the Breaks Interstate Park along the Virginia/Kentucky Border. It was a
great success with 141 birders attending and 117 species noted, including 29
species of wood warbler.
