I edited the sentence a half-dozen times and obviously did not get the pieces put together properly. I'm just tossing out suggestions. Y'all each know your local situations better than I do.

I know down in the city they would have tons of bird clubs... I think there are fourteen birding clubs at least around NYC!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanbirds Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Friends, allow me to introduce our newest member… my brother! @Bombycilla Cedorum Welcome to Whatbird!! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombycilla Cedorum Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Hello, folks. I might seem a little out of place, because I don't have a camera and haven't done much birding. But I want to get into it a little more, and this seemed a great place to start. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not one of the young birders, just an old buzzard hanging around. I'm glad to see you young'uns interested in birding!! When us old fogeys get to old to see a bird, or can't remember what we've seen, then y'all can carry on the birding for us. Welcome again!!!

Bombycilla Cedorum Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) Thank you, @Bird Brain! Thankfully I already know a lot of the basics because of my absolutely bird-crazy brother @Seanbirds. I have been able to go with him to a few birding hotspots to sorta get my feet wet.

Another young birder to add to our numbers ?And hey, don’t worry, I started out with a 15 year old camcorder and super cheap binocs, and forum posts that would make anyone cringe. So yeah, feel free to ask anything around here. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombycilla Cedorum Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 @Seanbirds and I get along pretty well for siblings. I tease him a little about birds he has never seen but other than that we're pretty nice to each other. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
