Tim,
I would stongly agree with the fact that you don't meet many young birders. Next to Kurtis you are the second birder i have met who is young so to speak. I wish we had more young birders around.
Yours Sincerely

> That's great to hear. I started out birding when i was young but because i have had serious commitments to sport, some environmental work, school work etc etc i just haven't been able to get time to go out to the places where there was more then just myna birds and rainbow lorikeets. I thought i was the youngest on the list so it is great to see someone like you who has already developed an interest in birding. I was always put down at school for liking birds however i have been in various newspaper articles and on various tv shows and the news for my environmental activities, and thanks to this i graduated with great pride and alot of respect. You could say many were eating there words but i hold no grudges. Anyway I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Keep up the good work.
