About Feathered Guru: Real Experience for Backyard Birders
How a Passion for Birds Became a Mission to Educate
Welcome to Feathered Guru. I’m Vince Santacroce, founder of Feathered Guru and a backyard birding expert with over 20 years of experience. My avian research and observations have been recognized by AP News, USA TODAY, and Wikipedia. I’ve spent countless hours in the field observing everything from the delicate migrations of warblers to the complex social behaviors of crows 🙂.
What started as a personal fascination has grown into a mission: to make birdwatching accessible, rewarding, and sustainable for everyone in the USA and Canada. I believe you shouldn’t need a degree in ornithology to connect with nature. You just need the right birding “blueprint” for your own backyard.
Real Experience, Not Just Research
Every guide, species profile, and problem-solving tip on this site comes from real-world testing. Whether I am experimenting with homemade suet recipes or documenting how to attract Blue Jays, my goal is to remove the guesswork. I provide the practical “how-to” that helps you recognize seasonal behaviors and set up feeders that actually work.

Feathered Guru is more than just a website; it’s a platform designed to foster a deep love for the natural world. By sharing knowledge and celebrating the joy of birdwatching, we build a community that actively protects our feathered friends and their habitats.
