LAWRENCE, Kansas Raucous chirping tipped me off to the tree full of birds in my front yard last weekend.
I opened the door and peeked out.
House sparrows seemed to be squabbling in our cherry trees. A lone starling sat among them, unperturbed. Somewhere nearby, a tufted titmouse sang an early morning tune.

Whether people count them at their bird feeder, standing in a frozen marshy meadow or hiking up Cascade Mountain, the birds people identify help researchers determine how bird populations are holding up, shifting about, and being impacted by changes to their habitat. The best-known birder around the Olympic Region (Lake Placid and Keene) is Larry Master, who has been intensely interested in all living creatures since he was about 8, living in a suburb outside Philadelphia. At the time, Larry had three assets: a bird feeder outside his window; nearby fields, marshes and woods; and a mother who tossed him outside with instructions to be back in time for dinner.
