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.

Good morning, Mister Bear

The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and I got out of bed with a spring in my step. I walked over to the window, and something wasn't quite right.

Oh. Oops.

So, apparently within 12 hours of writing my first column of the summer about how it was safe to put feeders out full time because the bears shouldn't be hungry anymore, I got zapped.



Fortunately, it wasn't too hard to bend it back into shape, and I've cautiously placed my feeders back up--for the daytime.

I spoke too soon, bears. Sorry about that.
