Searching For the Bird That Got Me Into Birding

Today I head out to look for my spark bird, or in other words, the bird that got me into birding. Not everyone has a spark bird and not everyone remembers their spark, and that is totally okay! I do have one species I consider to be my spark bird though and wanted to share the story while I do some birding out at Farmington Bay.
