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.

Birding Introduction to Winnebago County

Winnebago County is located in the north central tip of Illinois. It shares its border with Wisconsin. This county is a crossroads of transitional ecosystems, where east meets west and north meets south. Winnebago County is a prime birding location, especially during spring and fall migration. Apporoximately 324 birds have been sighted within Winnebago County. This is a fair number considering that there is no coastline and no major wildlife refuges.


Sugar River Forest Preserve

Winnebago has some 36 forest preserves, a state park, and an excellent city park district. Not only that, but the Natural Land Institute is doing quite a bit of work to restore prime habitat.
