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.

The Arrival of the Cedar Waxwings!


Is it that time already?! I always know that summer is drawing to a close when I hear the calls of the Cedar Waxwings. Sure enough, as the second week of August appeared, so did these special little birds. I've only spotted a few, but I imagine that the garden will soon resonate with the sound of their customary high-pitched "zees."

As happy as I am to see them (they're some of my favourites), I'm not so happy to see August zipping by. Oh well. Have to take it as it comes.
