Belen Bilgic Schneider is an amateur naturalist and wildlife photographer living in the Pacific Northwest’s Puget Sound. A thirteen-year resident of Anderson Island, she finds inspiration in this tiny oasis of towering trees and serene views that offer her a window into the secrets of nature - from majestic raptors on the hunt to baby birds exploring their new world, breaching orcas to curious raccoons. Belen shares those adventures on the blog WildChildTales.com with photography and storytelling.
