Birding

We love to travel to find new birds and participate in a lot of bird counts. We also created a Guide to Birding Field Guides and host a collection of over 300 birding links from all over the globe.

Conservation

While our main focus continues to be birds, we are working to promote other areas of conservation. Conserving land not only benefits wildlife, but is hugely beneficial to people as well.

Outdoors

We love all sorts of outdoor activities, especially hiking and spend a lot of time outside with dogs and horses. We are working to produce more articles on all sorts of outdoor fun!

Photography

Every week we bring you Bird Photography Weekly. We periodically talk about our adventures in digiscoping. Feel free to browse our photo lifelist.

1,000 Photos on Flickr!

We started using Flickr back in January of this year and have reached 1,000 photos!!

Flickr is a wonderful place to find cool photos and to share your own photos. We’ve met many great photographers and birders through Flickr and have enjoyed wonderful comments on some of our photos. Over the years we’ve taken many more photos than 1,000 but a lot of them never made it past the electronic trash can.

After 1,000 photos, here are a few of our favorite shots!

Feel free to check out all our photos at the Birdfreak Photostream on Flickr. We don’t pretend to be professionals, but just like carrying a camera while out birding!

Also, we offer ALL our bird photos to be used free of charge for bloggers, websites, print media, etc. They aren’t all the greatest quality, but sometimes it is nice to be able to add a picture to a post or use a photo while giving a presentation. We would like them to be credited to our website, but nothing else. No prior permission needed.

Here’s to thousands more photos on Flickr!

    Congrats on making 1000 on flickr! It is amazing how many pictures we take to get that one photo that is perfect in every way. I probably take 15 and only use 1. Guess I just wanted to say CONGRATS!

    Thanks mon@rch! Part of the reason we started using Flickr was because of your photos on there. I guess we’re all our own worst critics when it comes to photos… I’m always amazed at all the great pictures that are out there!
