Welcome to Birding Outside!
A blog all about birds! We are a group of bird lovers who enjoy observing, photographing, and learning about our feathered neighbors.
Our blog was founded in 2023 by Shajid Rahman, a passionate birdwatcher and nature enthusiast. After years of improving my bird identification skills and gathering tips and tricks for better birding, I chose to create Birding Outside as a platform to share my knowledge and experiences with fellow bird enthusiasts.
