This calendar features a collection of photos of birds from Saint Paul, Minnesota and a few from a trip I made to San Diego, California in the spring of 2024. I became an "accidental" birder during the start of the pandemic in 2020 and began to take notice of the variety of birds that passed through the neighborhood visiting my backyard feeders or who made their homes by the lakes and rivers within the local environs. I continue to enjoy the birds that visit Saint Paul and now endeavor to seek out birds in locations outside the Twin Cities and Minnesota.
