A little about Joyce:
I have been interested in birds since I was young and have sporadically done backyard birding and on vacations during my career. When I retired almost 7 years ago, I began birding in earnest. By participating in guided bird hikes, I have gone from a novice to a more knowledgeable (by no means expert) birder. I appreciate all who give of their time leading hikes and doing other jobs for Aiken and I would like to start giving back.
