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 Owl Box Project

Yesterday, I learned that a pretty interesting project is currently underway to learn more about Barn Owls and their nesting habits. The Owl Box Project placed a live webcam in the nest of a Barn Owl, named "Mollie," and her mate, "McGee."

The celebrity owls appeared on national network television last night. Mollie is currently working on hatching her second egg.

To take a peek at Mollie, McGee, and their babies, take a look at http://www.ustream.tv/theowlbox . For more information on Barn Owls or the Owl Box Project check out this link: http://www.sportsmansparadiseonline.com/Barn_Owls.html
