A lifelong naturalist and gardener, Sally Roth is the author of the highly successful The Backyard Birdfeeder's Bible and Attracting Birds to Your Backyard.

Sally was born and raised in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. After living for a brief time on the Oregon coast, she settled in New Harmony, Indiana, in 1992.
