I live in the village of Goshen, which is in Orange County, New York. I have had an interest in birds for many years, since around 1999, but I never considered myself a birder. I just enjoyed seeing birds and watching their behavior. It wasn&#8217;t until the spring of 2011 that I began to make an effort to really learn about birds. I started getting out birding more often and I also began reading books and on the internet about identifying birds and about their behaviors.\u00a0 I also started to take more photos of birds &#8211; \u00a0 I was really enjoying the challenge of trying to get good pictures of birds. So now I am trying to improve my birding and my bird photography and I will be sharing my experiences on this blog. I hope you enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/960117_10152103915049218_666489705_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2108\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/960117_10152103915049218_666489705_n.jpg\" alt=\"960117_10152103915049218_666489705_n\" width=\"960\" height=\"638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/960117_10152103915049218_666489705_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/960117_10152103915049218_666489705_n-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/960117_10152103915049218_666489705_n-451x300.jpg 451w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Contact me at:\u00a0orangebirdingdotcom@gmail.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Matt Zeitler.
