I have recently started writing a birding blog for the Courier Post, a South Jersey newspaper. The Winged Wonders blog is a manifestation of the Fledging BIrders’ philosophy. My goal is to help the readers start to recognize the wide variety of birds in their own communities.
A coworker visited the blog last night for the purpose of some friendly electronic heckling. As expected, he posted some goofy comments to poke fun at, what he so kindly refers to as, my “birding affliction”.
As we shared a nice laugh over his comments this morning, his conversation pretty quickly turned to several topics of my blog postings. For a few minutes, we were having a nice blog inspired dialogue about birds around his house and our school. He has even been talking about Dark-eyed Juncos to people all day!
I will take his good-natured ribbing in exchange for more people talking about birds anyday!
