Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe it’s 2019. Remember when everyone was talking about Y2K? No? You weren’t born yet, you say? I see. Well, don’t worry about it. That was a whole lotta fuss over nothing. But I digress – back to the present!
Hello. My name is Bernice and I have decided to start a blog so that I can share my adventures with the world. I love to explore and I am a passionate birder, so you can expect me to blog a lot about birding. I love my hometown of Washington, D.C., but I also love to travel.
My best friend is named Hector. He is not a passionate birder, nor does he love to travel, but he is passionate about me and so he usually tags along on my adventures. We had a great New Year’s Eve celebration last night. There was a crescent moon. Did you see it?
I just thought I would introduce myself today, so I’ll keep it short for now, but before I go: I would like to thank my dear friend, Auntie NuNu, for her typing and illustration assistance on this project.
Finally, this blog is dedicated to Ella and Abby, two very special humans who warm the cockles of my heart.
XOXO,
Bernice

Dear Bernice – how great to be able to follow the adventures of a birding giraffe! Glad to see you wearing your scarf so you don’t get a sore throat – bet that would be painful for a giraffe! Tell Hector that I really like his glasses. Very fashionable. Considering where he has to wear his watch, I can only imagine how important his glasses are for him.
Thanks for taking the time to tell us what you are doing. I’m looking forward to finding out what type of birds you like to follow in the Washington, D.C. area. Assume you will let us know what is happening with the eagle-cam and other exciting news.
Best of luck,
a fellow Washingtonian
