This club got started was because I have always loved birds for as long as I can remember. A core memory of mine was watching Puffin Rock as a kid and loving the birds and just wanting to learn more about them.
Years later in about fourth grade I got really into bird watching and went on bird walks. I kept realizing that there were no teenagers or even young adults. So I got the idea to start a club for younger people because I knew were enough of us that didn't know where to start.
