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.

    I’m submitting Anna’s Hummingbirds, my faithful winter friends. Hope they make it! Last week, my Chestnut-backed Chickadees didn’t make the list. I love seeing all these pictures of birds!

    My offering this week is the Red-crested Pochard, with both a male and female taken in the same location but never close enough to photograph together. Enjoy!

    American Bittern for me this time. We were finally able to see it in full view – not just head and neck among the reeds.

    Veery, Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting on my little home made bird cage. You’ve got a neat blog here! I am going to add it to my favorites and pass it on to my daughter who also loves birds, spotting them, photographing them, etc! And to my friend, Michelle Palmer who paints them! Links to their blogs are on my blog.
    Stop by again sometime!

    I went with an Eastern Screech-Owl that’s been cooperating on the local CBC for several years now (picture’s from last year, but he was out in an identical pose yesterday).

    I’ve got Juncos up as well. I guess Red and I are on the same wave-length.
