What is Bird.West.Mass?

Birding Western Massachusetts is a mix of timely tactics and overall strategy for enjoying the hobby of birding for all persons. Anything I write about will be relevant for birders here in the counties of Hampden, Hampshire, Franklin and Berkshire. I intend always to offer the free newsletter and its back issues. Ultimately, it’s my ambition to publish a book on all these topics.

I bird here weekly. My experience, as well as others', offers beginners and more experienced birders new ways to look at birding as a hobby, a vocation, and an aspiration to presence in all days.

I've been a birder since I was 6 years old. (My grandmother's list of gifts for me that year said "Field Glasses." I remember them fondly.) I moved to Western Massachusetts in 2019. I'm an analyst by trade and a writer by vocation.
