Youth and birding interviews must be popular in March's magazines.  Jim 
Wilson from Queenstown is currently featured in an article about birding in 
Boys Life magazine, the mag for Boy Scouts.  He is featured in a 6 page 
spread that has a great picture of his magnificent thick, wavy hair (spoken 
by a jealous bald father).  Jim is a veteran of 6 World Series of Birding 
Teams, captained the winning Leica youth birding team at the Great Texas 
Birding Classic (212 species), is a veteran of Camp Chiracahua and two ABA 
Junior Birder conventions, a 2nd place finisher of the ABA Youth Birding 
competition, and a member of the Red Eyed Vireos at the CMBO.

Jim is now a Sophomore at the University of Maryland majoring in Resources 
Management.  He spent last summer working for the Student Conservation 
Association building trails in the Tongass National Forest in Alaska.

On the negative side, he dipped on the White-winged Crossbill after several 
attempts.
