Beginner Bird Watching

Welcome all beginner Bird watchers:

Join me on my journey of exploring the birds in our own backyards and find out some basic knowledge of the birds I’ve seen with my avid-bird watcher mom this Spring 2014.

If you are a beginner bird watcher and have some photos of birds that I am missing, feel free to contact me to add them to this site. I’d love to have more birds added to this collection. My hope is that you learn something new and remember it each time you visit this site. Enjoy!
