Hi, I'm Natasha Gaitonde, a software engineer and avid birder living in the Pacific Northwest.

I caught the birding bug in early 2025, and it's grown into a daily habit ever since.

These days I'm slowly recruiting friends and family into the hobby, one sighting at a time.

This site is my field journal, a place where I keep notes from my time outdoors and share what I'm seeing. I hope you enjoy the world from my perspective.
