Not really by choice, but we moved around a lot and I never really got to know birders in an area. With the internet everything has changed. Just as an example, when I moved to Newville PA I was interested in getting involved with a local CBC. I found out who the compiler was online and contacted him. As it turns out he only lives a mile away, but I probably wouldn't of found him unless I went online. For years I was pretty much a lone birder.
