Welcome to the Watch the Birds blog!

Hello and Welcome to the "Watch the Birds" blog, straight from the Green Mountains!

My name is Madeleine and since the age of nine, I have been writing a bird column, documenting bird activity and discoveries from my backyard. My beloved grandmother ignited my passion for birds at an early age, showing me the beauty and bounty of nature and the avian world. Now, an avian enthusiast and full-time student, I continue to explore and appreciate the world of birds around me.

Since 2001, I have written a seasonal bird column for the Manchester Journal, the weekly publication for the Northshire area of Southern Vermont. My very first column was published in another area publication the summer of 2000, when I was nine years of age. The following summer, I switched to the Journal, where I continue to publish.

An interesting sighting!





The other day, I was delighted to see that what I had initially thought was a chickadee sitting in the Burning Bush right outside my window was none other than a Black and White Warbler. Upon checking my field guide, I learned that the species is fairly common in the area; however, this was my first time seeing one of these pretty little birds. What luck that I happened to glance out the window just then!
