A Murder of Birders

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

A Murder of Birders is the group name that my friends and I call our birding group, a twist on the phrase “a murder of crows” which describes a group of crows. This is the group of people that I do most of my birding with; birding is never a boring activity, especially with this group of people! I hope they too can serve as inspiration and motivation to explore the world.
