Biography

Myles and Kathy Conway met in 1985 and were married in 1988.  After building their house in Blandford they became interested in birds when a trip to the town dump yielded a bird feeder. A Peterson’s guide helped them to identify the visitors to their feeder.  Their first yard list is dated 1990-91.  They were hooked!

One December Myles called Seth Kellogg and volunteered to participate in the Cobble Mountain CBC by counting the birds in Blandford.  Seth’s prayers were answered!  He wouldn’t have to pay anyone else to do it!   They joined the Allen Bird Club soon after that first count, and have been active members ever since.

Always avid travelers, now the Conways travel to go birding.  They have birded throughout the United States including Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington.  Outside this country they have enjoyed trips to Ecuador, Costa Rica, the Caribbean, Mexico, The Gambia, and Kenya.  Their trip to Kazakhstan in 2007 was their first trip to Central Asia.
