["Jordan Davis" <warriah@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!

I just wanted to introduce myself and maybe get some advice!  My name is
Jordan, and I'm a student at Western Kentucky University (Biology, Pre-Vet),
and I have recently become interested in birding.

I was hoping to find out if there are any good spots to watch around Bowling
Green or within a few hours driving distance.  I've gone out to Mammoth Cave
twice (Thursday and Saturday) trying to work on my identification skills! So
far... I am horrible!  On Thursday, I spotted one Gray Catbird and heard
another (calling back and forth), one Carolina Chickadee, and one Summer
Tanager that I could positively identify.  Of course, I saw and heard quite
a bit more, but I don't know what!  Like I said... I'm definitely a
beginner!

Anyway, I would appreciate any and all advice!

Thank you,
