Wow, I listened to the Rumble Strip podcast you did, Bird Man, and I have to say I was really bowled over. First, it made me wish that my introduction to birding had come from someone with your infectious enthusiasm and generosity. I think it would have made my entry into birding much more pleasant. Though my family had long birded, my “mentor” into really watching was this guy who was really hung up on being right, so much so that he sometimes scolded me for getting an ID wrong or second-guessed IDs I knew to be correct. I pretty quickly outgrew him … and keep on birding now. Second, I think it’s really interesting how hearing someone voice can help one appreciate their writing. Now that I know your voice, I think I’ll hear your enthusiasm and energy more in your writing. For me, that’s a real bonus.
