Hi, my name is Derek (I go by D.J.) I’m Just a newbie Birdwatcher based in the San Francisco bay area, who is excited to share my birdwatching journey with you. BackyardBirdWatchers.com combines my background in web design with my newfound passion for birdwatching. My birding journey began unexpectedly in 2020 during the quarantine. As I took up walking in my local area, I was astounded by the variety and beauty of the birds right outside my doorstep.

Feel free to ask me anything about birdwatching, I’ll share with you everything that I know 🙂
