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.

eBird – putting your birdlists into the big picture

Launched in 2002 by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society, Ebird is a real-time, online checklist program that is free and easy to use. Their goal is to record as much bird data as possible by both recreational and professional bird watchers.

It seems to be working. In 2006, participants reported more than 4.3 million bird observations across North America. Hopefully, Ebird will continue to grow.

We want to encourage EVERYONE to join this online program. It is a great way to track all of your birdlists, from daily lists to life lists. One of the neatest features is the use of graphs that show abundance based on what data is recorded. Hence, the more people the more correct these graphs will be.
