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 are working to promote other areas of conservation. 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.

Geobirding – Atmosphere

Geography is broken up into four large categories: atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. Each of these categories has numerous aspects that involve birds and birding. To help further our study on Geobirding, we are looking into each of these categories and coming up with various topics for further study.

Atmosphere Topics

Migration mapping with WSR (Weather Surveillence Radar), also referred to as NEXRAD (Next Generation Radar).

How birds use or are effected by wind currents – thermals, fronts that cause fallouts, etc.

Effects of storms such as hurricanes, tornadoes, hail, and blizzards have on birds.

Climate changes and long-term weather effects on bird distribution.
Air and light pollution issues.
