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.

A Canada Warbler?


Yesterday, as was getting out of the car, I saw an interesting bird sitting in the bush next to my door. Unfortunately, I was unable to get a really good look at it; however, after some thumbing through my various guidebooks and doing some hunting on the Internet, with the help of eBird and other local Vermont birding logs, I was able to narrow my guess down to the Canada Warbler. It seems there have been some nearby lately, so it's not out of the question.
