A while back I was fortunate enough to spend a beautiful summer morning birding with some folks that are not only good friends but also expert birders. Every day that we are fortunate enough to spend afield is a day that we get to learn something new, especially when the birders are as knowledgeable as the people I was blessed to be with on this special morning.
As we deliberately plotted along as birders do,watching for any measure of movement in the trees and listening for the faintest of chips, calls and songs that would give one of our feathered friends away, it was not long before the birding debates soon began.
