Lincoln's Sparrow - Sauvie Island 1.19.13 (Now that I have this bird, I'm thinking I wouldn't be surprised if I've seen it before and called it a Savannah Sparrow... what a newb move!)

A chronicle of where I've been and the birds I've seen

I’m starting this blog to keep record of my birding, in case I ever drop my birding journal in a lake :P (You never know!) But all are welcome to browse and I would love to hear from anyone, especially fellow birders.

Let me know if you know of any good birding places in or around Portland, Oregon.

THANKS FOR LOOKING, HAPPY BIRDING!!! :D

About Me

Melanie: It seems like I’ve been birding, to some extent, most of my life, but it was almost a year ago that I really got into it. It came on gradually, first with just taking notice to the birds around me, and then a more extensive look while visiting New Zealand and noticing even the common birds there are interesting. I realized later that the trip to New Zealand was my first birding experience, doing the identifying a year later through photographs. My first few birding trips were cool, but the birding bug didn’t bite me until a few trips in, and then I was hooked. If you notice some of my older posts with the name Ava Sparrow, that way my screen name when I first started. :)
