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 Photography Weekly #28

Bird Photography Weekly #27 is complete so join in on the action of the 28th installment.

B.P.W. was delayed as we were stuck in northern Wisconsin with car trouble and no computer. Birdfreak’s Volvo had a wire come loose disabling the car and requiring a tow. (A freak incident but one that left us stuck on a lonely state highway.)

All’s good now and we’re back home, tired but happy to have had a good time visiting relatives before the car trouble.

The Birdfreakmobile being towed… not often you see a Volvo needing a tow :)

    I’ve captured an immature Bald Eagle for this weeks BPW. Glad to hear you made it out of trouble OK Eddie! So there’s the answer to the age old question, “where’s a cop when you really need one?”

    Five BPW contributors trumped me this week! I swear I was first going to post a red-shoulder hawk, then a red-tailed, then a pileated woodpecker, then a bald eagle, then brown pelicans. Finally settled on a Song Sparrow : )

    Red Winged Blackbirds are out in force – the true sign of spring. It’s amazing to watch them take a deep breath, fluff all their feathers out, stretch like a yoga guru, and then let loose with Con-ko-ree. When two of them land in the same bunch of cattails, watch out!

    Glad help eventually arrived for you Eddie!
