My favorite birder (and teacher) is my uncle Eddie. I think he is the best birder in the world. When I am stuck on identifying a bird, he will help me figure it out and he usually knows all the bird sounds too. One of the best things he is teaching me is how to use his Cannon camera, which I love. Taking bird photos is very hard but so fun.

Eddie is Birdfreak and he is a bird freak. He has traveled to very far away places like Texas and California and Arizona to find birds and someday I want to travel too. One of the birds I really want to see is a Pyrrhuloxia, which is only found in the southeastern United States.

My uncle also teaches me many other things like baseball, my favorite sport. Eddie is like a big brother to me and since I don’t have a Dad he also does dad-like things with me. My Grandpa is also a great birder and he does many things with me too.

Wow, Dakota…You are off to a good start! (I’ll be watching National Geographic in a few years for your name.)
You know, I’ll bet your Uncle Eddie and Grandpa are having as great a time as you are.
I’m glad you came to visit.
Looks like you have some good birding role models! It’s nice to have someone there to show you “the ropes,” so-to-speak.
And I have to say, I love your grandpa’s sweatshirt - I have the same one! Go Iowa!
I agree with bird lady that you are heading in the right direction in becoming one of our future scientist! Keep up the great work and without a doubt anyone with the name birdfreak would be a favorite birder of mine also!
