Birds have always fascinated me. Intrigued me. The way they soar through the skies and land gracefully on a small perch. I am curious of their migratory routes and fascinated to know that the birds I see in Germany or Canada spend a portion of their life in a very different environment and climate. Little more excites me than when I see a bird I have never seen before, as I eagerly run to my bird book to identify it.
