I am a student at Penn State University, majoring in Wildlife Biology. I love the outdoors, especially birds, and I have currently seen 657 species. This blog is about the birding adventures and other nature-related fun I have. All the photos on this blog were taken by me unless otherwise noted.

I also contribute to another birding blog called "The Nemesis Bird" alongside Drew Weber. Please visit and let me know what you think and what you want to see us write about!
