walking with a naturalist

walking with a naturalist was a great experience. He was passionate about birds and my fist thought  was that birds really aren't that exciting.  As i was listening i learned that birds are direct descendants from dinosaurs, their songs are actually war crys and territorial disputes, they show off to women, and natural selection has made them very smart.  We have over 300 types of birds that can be seen in ohio, and they are imperitive to wildlife.  After the short lesson, and hearing some fun bird calls I had so much new respect for birds.  I also found myself very envious of the naturalists way of life, and his passion and love for his job.  It helped me clear a little bit more of my path to finding a major!
