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.

Banded American Oystercatcher

Thanks to Birdchick who posted about a banded American Oystercatcher, we reported one that we found at South Beach, Massachusetts.

Here we have AMOY “yellow #60″ or who we’ve named Yogi as in the great baseballcatcher, Yogi Berra
American Oystercatcher Banded

The American Oystercatcher or AMOY Banding project is a fascinating project focused on these fun shorebirds. Shortly after submitting our band, we received confirmation about the bird.

Yogi was banded at South Beach this year as an adult. It will be fun to hear if he or she is found feeding somewhere way south.
