We love Backyard Birding!
We have always enjoyed the backyard birding hobby and have pursued conservation efforts. It only seemed natural to form a company that would be personally rewarding to us and beneficial to others who share our enthusiasm for birding and nature.
Through carefully selected feeders, houses, accessories and the freshest seed available, our goal is to assist you in bringing nature up close and personal to your backyard. We look forward to meeting you and chatting about - well, birds!

About Us
Lisa Benoit
Birding has been a passion of mine for over 40 years. My father was an outdoorsman which encouraged me to become one as well. As we ventured into fields and woods, my interest in birds grew.
I enjoy feeding birds year-round and getting to know their habits and characteristics through observing and photographing them. Each species has its own quirks and oddities. Did you know that some birds (like Chickadees) cache seeds in the Fall and can hide as many as 250 seeds in a day? What is more amazing is that they can locate those seeds in times of need. I believe in offering various types of seeds, nuts and fruit, as well as water, to encourage many varieties of birds to visit my feeders. We are lucky to own 25 acres of open fields and wooded areas which provides natural food and plenty of space for nesting and raising young.
My husband Dave and I enjoy a life full of excitement; ranging from 3 lively Jack Russell Terriers and 20 hens to a rooster named Mardi Gras. The addition of wildlife by means of natural habitat make this a pretty nice place to call home!

I have been a lover of nature for my entire life. The weekend my husband proposed we were staying in a cabin that had tray feeders on the deck. I had no idea what they were, so he showed me. I was hooked on birding, though I didn’t quite understand just how consuming this hobby would become, or that it would introduce me to people that would change my life forever.
Outside of birding, I am a mother to two wonderful children, a wife to the most amazing husband in the world, and the proud dog mom to Buddy the 13 year-old Beagle. I also create art to share with the world.
Prior to my life as a birder, I spent 20 years in United States Marine Corps, (2811 For Life) graduated with a BS from Park University and an MBA from University of Maryland University College.
My favorite bird is the Titmouse! They are always the first ones to try any new food that I put out in my feeders.
