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.

    In light of the Saw-whet Owl banding demo that I attended (and blogged about) on Friday, I am in this week with a pic of a Saw-whet that we found hanging out in the low branches of a tree (only about 24″ from the ground) on our annul Owl Prowl a few years ago.

    Wonderful submissions already, hopefully we’ll get even more. I’ve added a couple of Great Egrets (Common Egrets? American Egrets? I’ve heard all three labels, which is correct?) for this week.

    Thanks for hosting this great weekly meme, Birdfreak!

    I posted my submission for last week on the wrong week, so it didn’t get counted. Ah well. This time I think I have it right, and am joining in with a Lazuli Bunting that hit my window earlier in the year.

    Great picture I snapped of a Canada goose while we were feeding them at a nearby lake. Not an uncommon bird, but still photogenic.

    Another one to add to the list – an American Coot. Not the best picture in the world, but I’ve been aggravated long enough trying to get a pic of these shy birds.
