How it all began

I seem to do a lot of bird watching. But I usually do this from the comfort of the driver's seat in my car. Or out my kitchen window. So why not record it? I decided to take my inexpensive digital camera along in order to take pictures of any of the interesting birds I see in my short commute to work. This didn't work too well as the red-tailed hawk I saw on the top of a tree flew away as soon as I stopped. But I will continue anyway.
