Our Story

Welcome to our birding and travel site. This originally started as a chronicle of our 2015 journey to see 500 species of birds in the United States. During our travels we visited beautiful locations, met interesting people and enjoyed the hospitality of many businesses. We work full-time, but spend most of our free time looking for birds. We are grateful for the help we receive from knowledgeable birders, expert guides and especially eBird.
We hope our stories will inspire you to take some weekend trips, explore this beautiful country and most of all have fun!
We are not promoting any of the businesses mentioned here but merely writing about places that made an impression on us. Thank you to everyone we met along this journey.
Good birding!
Sharon & Mike Pratt
