I am a young birder from Southwest Connecticut who has always had an interest in nature and the outdoors. I have been a user of eBird since late 2013, and use it to keep track of all the birds I see. I enjoy traveling, as well as seeing common birds at my local patches. I also enjoy bird photography with my Nikon D500 and Nikon 200-500 mm lens.

I am the Vice President of the Connecticut Young Birders' Club, with which I have been involved in since 2015. It is great to be able to go birding with other teenagers who share my interest!

Some of the favorite birds I have seen are: Piping Plover (CT), Western Tanager (CT), Pink-footed Goose (CT), Spruce Grouse (Vermont), Buff-bellied Hummingbird (Texas), and Evening Grosbeak (CT this winter).
