Pamela Bruno first started noticing backyard birds when her kids were young and her family started documenting when birds came back to their central Maine yard every spring. This went on for years before she knew that “bird" was a verb. Now, weekends and vacations are mostly bird themed. Cameras entered the scene somewhere along the way, so photography has become central to the fun of birding. Pamela lives Downeast, with a home on Cobscook Bay, where tracking yard birds is a daily source of joy.
