I am an 18 year old Catholic, birder and Eagle Scout from western Iowa. I live in a small town near Sioux City, IA where the main mode of transportation around town to many people is a lawnmower, four wheeler, horse, or a golf cart and where stray cats seem to outnumber the people!

I have been interested in birds since a very young age but the thing I remember that really sealed my love of birds in stone happened when I was seven. I got a leather bound Audubon bird book from my next door neighbor who was dying of a blood disorder. I really got crazy about birds when I joined the Audubon Society when I was 11.

My birding optics are 10x42 Nikon Monarch binoculars and a 15-45 power Leupold Sequoia Scope (hoping for Swarovski one day). My camera is a Panasonic DMC FZ-35.

I currently have 507 life birds, with Boreal Owl as the 300th, Buff-breasted Flycatcher as 400th, and Bee-eater as the 500th.

Although birds are my specialty, mammals and butterflies are also of interest to me as well as prairie plants. Now that I think about it, all aspects of nature interest me.
