DRAFT — replace with your own account. The strongest version of this section usually has three beats.

The first bird. The specific moment it clicked — where you were, how old you were, what the bird was and why it stopped you. Readers remember a concrete scene far longer than a summary of your enthusiasm.

The obsession taking hold. What you did next. The first field guide, the first pair of binoculars, the first patch you worked until you knew every bird on it. This is the part that tells a prospective client you have put in fifteen years, not fifteen months.

Turning it into guiding. How you went from birding for yourself to birding for other people, and why you prefer tailor-made trips to fixed departures. Close on what you want a client to feel at the end of a day in the field.
