About Me


I’m Jeremy, a 68-year-old retiree in Duluth, Minnesota, who traded busy workdays for quiet mornings with backyard birds. From my porch and local parks, I’ve learned a lot just by watching, listening, and slowing down. Jeremy’s Backyard Birds is where I share those everyday stories and easy ideas so you can enjoy the birds around your home, too.
