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 little visitor ^_^

As I was snapping those photos of my garden, I was surprised by a visit from one of my little hummingbird friends. She hovered around me before proceeding to test the flowers, finally settling on the clothes line as if posing for a picture.

I was kneeling about 10 feet away when these were taken. I'm glad (and incredibly surprised) that my little Kodak could capture these.
