Every where but the northwestern United States, which I'd like to visit some day. I've only flown over into Vancouver.
42 states by car before I was a teenager. Many of them multiple times, different towns or cities.
This makes me a poor judge of being able to figure out childhood bird levels compared to present.
The chuck-will's-widow is a southern bird call I did not remember noticing much this summer. I'll have to pay attention to it more next year. I do not remember noticing it, but I've had different habits this summer as well.
Some birds I may be seeing more often, but that could also be from being home more often.
