Hi! My name is Rie,

I’m a Danish biologist, wildlife photographer and the creator of The Traveling Female Ornithologist.

Driven by a deep curiosity about the natural world, I love exploring new places and discovering the incredible wildlife that inhabits them. With a camera in one hand and a notebook in the other, I document my adventures and the special moments spent in the company of nature – from the tiny, dazzling hummingbirds of the Americas to the majestic elephants of Africa.

For over 13 years, my blog has been a place to share my wildlife photography, travel journals and passion for the natural world.
