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.

CNP Update: Migration Lull

We’ve hit the proverbial wall at the Callaway Nature Preserve. This past week we’ve had no new migrating birds besides the hoards of ravenous White-throated Sparrows. After the excitement of the willow tree collapse, the birding has been the opposite – boring!

But we suspect some Northern Cardinals are on eggs and the White-breasted Nuthatches are salvaging what’s left of their seed stores in the now horizontal willow tree. We feel the waves of thrushes are eminent!

With the lack of birds we took some photos of some of our native plants.

    Interesting. Migration activity around here hit a lull in late April and resumed very nicely on May 4th. Still many more to come!!!
