ABOUT ME -
My name is Amy and I'm a newer birder living in the Chicago area with my husband, Arthur. Besides birding I love to travel. I was fortunate enough to live in Arthur's native Holland for nearly 10 years. We spent a lot of that time traveling around Europe and beyond - birding, scuba diving and having a great time generally exploring our world. On this blog I'll
write about my own birding & backyard birding experiences, interesting bird news, and a bit about the birding-themed gifts for sale in our shop
here and at
Birdorable .

Red-Winged Blackbird / Agelaius phoeniceus
We saw this bird when we were in Chicago for the 2009 St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The first Red-wings of the year had just shown up earlier in the week and suddenly they were everywhere, calling and strutting their stuff. Arthur took this shot in Millennium Park, close to the Bean.
