Young Birds & Young Birders

by Bill Schmoker

I'm enjoying my last day of summer break, doing a little back-to-school shopping (yeah, teachers do that too) and taking some trips down memory lane as I review some pics & vids from the last few weeks' worth of adventures.   Some of my most rewarding experiences this summer involved birding & naturalizing with young birders, particularly the privilege of leading at Camp Colorado and taking my most important client (my son Garrett) around Colorado's high country.  I also enjoy summer's chance of finding young birds, both to celebrate successful nesting and to entertain the hope that the next generation of birders and nature lovers will still have productive habitats and special birds to see.  Here's a little video that combines both themes- I hope you enjoy it.  -Bill Schmoker
