Mean Teen Birding Machine Blog Introduction

Hey birders! I'll make 2 posts a week. One will be about a past birding experience, and the other will be about one that happened recently. Occasionally, I will post rarity chases, which are some of the epic chases of rare birds I've done around New York City.Happy Birding!
