My name is Jeff Cooper and I currently live in Pleasant Grove, Utah. I am an active birder in the state of Utah. I was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky (graduated from Bryan Station High School), but did not actively bird until moving to Utah so I'm not quick at identifying Kentucky birds that are not common in Utah. I will be visiting Lexington for my family reunion July 8-11th. I have been told that Raven Run is near where I'll be staying (Jacobsen Park area) so I am planning to visit that area for birding Friday or Saturday morning, July 8th or 9th. I'm really interested in seeing warblers, woodpeckers, flycatchers, vireos, thrushes, and the list goes on. I enjoy photographing the birds I see. I often photograph new birds and identify them later by reviewing the photos, but discover after the fact that I failed to capture important field marks and cannot remember the songs and calls associated with the birds in the photos. Hence, identification is sometimes questionable after returning from unfamiliar habitats. In short, I have come to appreciate birding with local experts. Consequently, I'm asking if there are any local birders who might be willing to join me on a half-day birding trip during my visit. If you are interested, please respond directly to me.
