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 #53 – Year Two Already!!

Wow!! Today marks the 53rd edition of Bird Photography Weekly and the beginning of the second year of bird photography greatness! Join in on the fun and spread the word like crazy!!

It is hard to believe a whole year has passed since we introduced this new concept. Our first week we had a respectable 11 submissions. Over the weeks the numbers increased steadily as word spread. In May of 2009 we recorded our best total of 33 submissions (perhaps as migration was in full swing).

The number of wonderful photo-links is stunning: over 1,000 links or roughly 19 a week!! We hope to smash that total in this second year as we conquer some of the difficulties using “Mister Linky” and discover new ways to share this wonderful photo-sharing meme.

    Haven’t been getting much for photos lately (plenty of great birds though), but since it’s a party I pulled a shorebird flock from the archives.
