When I was a child, I remember being shew a bird nest in a tree in our yard. It was a robin’s nest,

and it was amazing. There were four blue eggs in the nest. The bird didn’t seem to mind be watched,
and IJ was careful not to get too close. I was very young, maybe four, but I never needed telling not to

touch the nest. Somehow I knew that without being remind. One day, I looked and saw baby robins
in the nest. I don’t think they liked be left alone by their mother, but sometimes she had to fly away to

get food. When she came back, the babies made a lot of noise while they were waiting to being fed!

Since that time I have always loved birds, and I love to go on birdwatching trips. In recent years,
I have traveled all over the world to observe birds. I sometimes get invite to speak at birdwatching

conferences. Be asked to share my knowledge of birds with others gives me a lot of pleasure.
Fortunately, birdwatching is a very safe hobby. I’ve never get injured while doing my favorite thing.
