My spark bird wasn't actually a bird. It was a place and a person. In 5th
grade our class trip was to the International Crane Foundation. Most of my
classmates thought it was boring, but I was amazed by all the different species
of cranes. I took a picture of every single bird there. After that, I had a
fleeting interest throughout high school. I remember seeing four Short Eared
Owls in the fields by our house. One landed on our driveway, allowing us to
get some really great looks. I truely became a birder after taking an
Ornithology class with Dr. Rosenfield at UW Stevens Point. That was when I
really discovered the joy of birding. The next summer I took a job doing
point counts in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and the rest is history.
