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 .
