Birds of Tioga County by Bernadette Chiaramonte 2026 Series Limited Edition Pop's Culture Shoppe Jigsaw Puzzle, 16"x20" 504 pieces. Winner of our annual puzzle photo contest!

With its diverse habitats of rivers, lakes, woodland, canyon, marsh, and meadow, Tioga County is perfect for bird watching. Wellsboro, PA is officially a "Bird Town" designated by the National Audubon Society, and the local Tiadaughton Chapter actively works to support bird populations and encourage community stewardship of nature. Photographer Bernadette Chiaramonte utilizes her camera, artistic eye, and tremendous patience to capture images of our local feathered friends.

It takes you to places you have never been. It makes you stop and be in that one moment. When I am photographing a landscape, wildlife, or the stars in the sky, my worries in life fade away. It is a very real experience for me. I love the photographic medium for expressing what I love about life on Earth, a planet we take too much for granted.” https://www.facebook.com/pinecreekartist
