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 promote other areas of conservation as well. 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.

A Good Way to Search

For all of us who browse the internet, Google has become practically a household name: Why Don’t you just Google it? Now there may be a better search!

GoodSearch.com is a search engine powered by Yahoo! that is reliable and easy-to-use. But the key feature is this: every time you search for something, a small monetary amount is donated to a charity of your choice. There are currently 29,000 charities to pick from. We are currently donating to the Natural Land Institute, a Rockford based conservation organization.

While the searches might not be quite as refined as Google, for the most part we’ve had excellent success in finding what we are searching for. The system also keeps track of how much money has been earned for the organization you have picked: for example, February has earned the Natural Land Institute a little over $7.00 – not bad considering it was at $0.58 when we found out about it.

The more people that use GoodSearch, the more money goes to good causes. I urge you all to try it out. It is a fun, easy way to “donate” by doing something we do anyway.

There is a GoodSearch “website search” in the works that will let bloggers (among others) put a search box on their blog that allows users to search that site or the web, much like Google has now.

Once you go GoodSearch, you’ll never need to Google again!
