Welcome to Watching Backyard Birds.com!

Welcome to Watching Backyard Birds.com, the companion site for Watching Backyard Birds! WBB is the sister publication to Bird Watcher's Digest, but focuses squarely on the backyard, where the vast majority of bird enthusiasts do most of their bird watching. In creating this magazine and this website, we asked ourselves, "What do backyard bird watchers want and need to enjoy their backyard birds even more?" We've tried to strike the right balance between fun and practical—and we hope you enjoy the result!

Here are some of the features you'll see on this website:

• Free bonus features will be added regularly online at watchingbackyardbirds.com, so there's more to read in between each mailed issue. This new site is definitely worth a look!
• Fun features such as photos and stories from actual readers' backyards, and interesting, informative tidbits written by our team of backyard bird experts.
• A backyard bird photo gallery! We'd love it if you'd share with us—and our readers—photos of birds in your yard!

You can also stay in touch with Watching Backyard Birds by following us on Facebook at Facebook.com/WatchingBackyardBirds. Don't forget to visit watchingbackyardbirds.com for regular updates in between issues. We'll even give sneak previews of some of the articles you'll find in the upcoming issue!

Thank you for visiting our website. If you like the content, consider subscribing to the print edition of The Backyard Birds. Wishing you happy reading and great backyard bird watching!
