About Us

LycoBirds is run by brothers Bobby and David Brown. We created this website to serve as a resource about the birds of the Lycoming County, Pennsylvania. We now provide a growing set of educational tools and resources for a broader range of birders, especially in the Northeastern United States.

We launched LycoBirds in 2016, and we are really proud of how the website has grown alongside our YouTube channel. We don't have a team — it's really just the two of us producing everything you see on LycoBirds.

But as a small operation, we could use your support to help cover the costs we have in maintaining all of our systems — and also to help us be able to expand and improve what we create. So, if you enjoy our work and want to see more (and better) in the future, please consider supporting our efforts. We are extremely grateful to our supporters who have contributed in the past, and we hope to be able to continue our work for many years into the future!
