Well, here we go! I never thought I would be creating a blog, but I’m always up for a challenge. I have several somewhat similar ideas for my blog topic; the first being a birding blog, and the second being a blog focusing on a specific animal species with each post functioning to discuss conservation efforts and the environmental role that species plays. I think I will be going with my first option, and that is to write about being a birder. I will share birding stories, as well as share stories from fellow birders, important research and facts about specific bird species, and/or current issues in conservation ecology through the voice of an advocate.
