The new 2025 BWGS T-Shirts have just arrived. We couldn't decide on a single color, so we picked a shirt that looks like a cross between Ben & Jerry's and a Grateful Dead concert. We are calling this new shirt "Marsh Madness." They sell for only $14.99. And there...

Rick Gladstone entered our Bird Watcher's General Store Famous Tee Shirt Photo Contest wearing our 2024 Limited Edition Shirt. He is at Moreno Glacier, Patagonia! He wins a big prize for entering. You can enter our contest by wearing any of our logo shirts (so the...

The other morning, with snow flurries in the air, look who walked in our front door...both Santa and Mrs. Clause. And because everyone here has been so good (in theory) this year, Santa and Mrs. C. brought us a super-yummy cake...with their faces on it. Don’t ask me...

In spite of the ugly weather, Free Hatful of Potatoes Day was another hit. We filled all sorts of different hats, worn by all kinds of people, including dogs. But the cutest hat-wearer was eight-month-old Sophia, who came to her very first Potato Day. Enjoy your...

We’ve been sold out of Amy Tan’s "The Backyard Bird Chronicles” for weeks, but now it’s back in stock and better than ever. (It’s better because it’s back in stock.)

Two of our favorite all time customers are Karen and Dick Harmer from Wappingers Falls, NY. Unfortunately, Karen’s 2023 visit was her last. She passed away earlier this spring. We were all saddened by the news, but became slightly less sad when we found out Karen's...

Bobby Martin sent us this great photo of him wearing one of our tee shirts visiting the Kyoto River in Kyoto Japan.  He has a Grey Heron friend with him.  All our logo shirts qualify for entry, but we're glad Bobby is wearing our brand new 2024 Tenacious Teal Limited...

The good folks at the Addison Art Gallery were looking for a person of note to paint. Apparently they couldn’t find one, so they asked me. A group of artists, led by Paul Schulenburg, spent two hours brushing away while I posed. Unfortunately, in spite of their...
