Local Birdwatchers
Using the Birdingpal resources you must agree to the following: If you contact a local Birdingpal and make arrangement to go birding, you should note it is common courtesy to make sure you show up for the appointment. If for any reason you are unable to do this, the least you must do is contacting the local Pal right away. Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club. | ||||||

| Good birding here during spring migration - lots of warblers. I do banding in the spring and fall - I band Saw-whet Owls Oct. to Nov. in the fall. I have been birding for 38+ years and I do 75% of my birding by ear. | ||||||

| I live 10 mins from Washington County Maryland. I'm very close to Harpers Ferry NHP and the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers. I just got back from a 5 mo. job in Alaska with an eco-tourism company. That has sparked my interest in birds and would like to continue now that I'm home. | ||||||
