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.

Bird Photo Quiz

Here’s a double photo quiz – your only clues are that they were taken on April 2nd in northern Illinois…

These are what we refer to as “burst rejects” – the load of pictures you get with a digital camera, set on burst, to catch a moving bird. (The second picture is mostly bad lighting and poor angle.)

The top is the GC Kinglet and the bottom is a BG gnatcatcher. I think.

Top one is for sure a Golden-crowned Kinglet but need to continue looking at the second picture!

Tim is correct. The top picture is a Golden-crowned Kinglet and the bottom is a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (early for them in N. Illinois)
