Librarian by trade, bird chaser by choice

I'm your friendly neighborhood marketing librarian by day, and a novice bird and bug follower on my breaks and weekends.

When I’m on break, you can find me doing laps around the library, squinting into the trees, trying to catch a glimpse of anything with feathers. Armed with my camera and an weird ability to spot a bird butt at fifty paces, I’m all about trying to capture terrible photos—even if it means looking ridiculous on a daily basis in front of unsuspecting patrons.

Here’s a word. Bereavement. Or, Bereaved. Bereft. It’s from the Old English bereafian, meaning ‘to deprive of, take away, seize, rob’. Robbed. Seized. It happens to everyone. But you feel it alone. Shocking loss isn’t to be shared, no matter how hard you try. ― Helen Macdonald, H is for Hawk
