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.

Be a Conservation Activist!

#24 of 31 Days to Better Birding and Conservation

We try to avoid politics on the blog and this is not a political statement. Instead, this is a call to action to let your local and state politicians know what really matters: Bird Conservation. The environment is often last on the list and it should not be. The more birders and nature lovers that write and sign petitions, the more likely these politicians will understand how important conservation issues are.

There are websites out there that let you sign petitions online and submit them to your immediate representatives. What works even better is to sit down and write a short letter and mail it to all your local politicians. It is a small gesture and who knows if the politicians even care (that is why it is often good to start locally), but it could lead to big things if enough people get involved.
