Flycatcher Jen of I Used To Hate Birds has amassed close to 160 species in the last two years just walking and biking around Portland, Oregon, which is a number that deserves a toast if you ask me. Also, don’t underestimate the value ecotourism has for wildlife in many places. Bird with your friends.

In other words, eBird is effectively a complete history of my birding experiences. Predictably, the states I have lived in (California and Oregon) have the most species, as does nearby Washington. And I will continue my quest to see all of my Top 25 National Wildlife Refuges for Birding too.

Growing up in central Oregon, allowed me to experience such a diverse amount of habitat, and the wildlife that resides there. For me, the real jewel of central Oregon is Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge. I feel like I am home.

Here in Portland, Oregon, it is more frequently too rainy rather than too cold to go birding, at least comfortably. I haven’t even been to all of the best national wildlife refuges for birding. Given my west coast experience, I have made dedicated birding trips to several of the more predictable birding hotspots.

Hannah Buschert was first exposed to birds and birding during a required ornithology course at Oregon State University and she quickly caught the birding bug. After securing our passage, I patiently waited for this once-in-a-lifetime experience to a place we have never been and lacked any knowledge of, we were in for a complete surprise.

All twitchers will experience it at some stage or another. First he drove to Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, Delaware to twitch a possible Little Egret that had showed up.

It was one of two life birds (the other being Cassin’s Vireo ) I photographed at the inaugural Mountain Bird Festival in Klamath, Oregon. The experience, the place, and the bird combine to make this my BBOTY. Carlos’s BBOTY – the Nicobar Pigeon. My heart was beating so fast and I was giddy with laughter.
