| This really didn't start my "serious" birding, but.... when I was a little girl, I always looked forward to hearing the Whip-Poor-Wills call outside my bedroom window in the spring as I was going to sleep. |

| I'd have to say McCurtain County, although I don't get down there as often as I'd like. There are so many neat birds there that aren't anywhere else in Oklahoma! |

| I've always used a Peterson's, but I'm slowly converting to Sibley's. |

| Roseate Spoonbill because I think they're just beautiful; Brown-headed Nuthatch because of its call (yes, that's a rubber ducky you're hearing); and Northern Mockingbird because of their innate ability to mimic things. |
| A. |
| My first birding trip to Galveston Island in 1994. I saw so many things I'd never paid close attention to before... and I saw my first Roseate Spoonbill! |
| A. |
| I haven't had a worst yet, because I've always managed to see something. |
