Want to learn how a kid goes from reading Mr. Popper’s Penguins to being an ace birder? Read Greg Swick’s great post about his son, Nate Swick, who, well, if you don’t know who Nate is then I don’t know what you have been reading. Not 10,000 Birds, that’s for sure. Anyway, as added inducement, Greg’s post includes picture of Nate as an adolescent!
