Welcome to the Z Birds Birding Blog

Howdy and thanks for checking out the new Zugunruhe Birding Tours weblog (or as I call it, a “blog”).  It appears as if this internet thing is actually going to be around for awhile, so I’m reluctantly joining the crowd of bloggers.  Hey, I’m only a few years late to the party.

I’ll be updating this blog with news on upcoming tours, trip reports, other forms of self-promotion (both blatant and not-so-blatant), birding tips and information, and anything else that I think might be of interest to birders.  I hope you find it useful and entertaining, or at least as useful and entertaining as a blog can be.

Besides being the founder, head honcho, office staff, and lead guide of Z Bird Tours*, I’m also the webmaster, and I have no training with that.  I’m learning as I go, so I’ll be working on improving the appearance of this blog as my skills improve.  Once I learn a little more about CSS, it should be looking sweet, but in the meantime, bear with me.

Thanks,

John

*I was looking for a memorable name when I started this company, something a little different.  “Zugunruhe” is definitely different.  Maybe a little too different.  It’s a German word used by ornithologists which means “migratory restlessness”.  Difficult to say, yes.  That’s why I refer to the company as “Z Bird” or just “Z”, but whether it’s “Z Bird”, “Z”, or “Zugunruhe”, I hope it sticks in your mind…in a good way.
