Contributor, Backyard Birding & Safety

I'm Maya Bennett, a backyard birder and practical nature educator who writes clear, actionable guides on bird diets, predators, and feeder safety. I spend mornings testing feeder setups, photographing birds with my phone, and troubleshooting common risks backyarders face—like spoiled seed, pet access, and predator attraction. I enjoy sketching quick ID notes, swapping tips with local volunteers, and caring for my two indoor cats while keeping my feeders safe for wildlife.
