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.

Grenada Dove vs Luxury Resort

I read a post about this from Mike’s Digiscoping Blog and thought I would pass it along. Apparently the Grenada Dove, an endangered bird estimated at about 180 individuals is going to have less room to exist. The Grenada government is selling off a national park to provide room for a luxury resort.

Read the whole article from Birdlife International. I just want to quote this:

“There’s a terrible irony in the Government’s willingness to critically compromise the continued existence of the Grenada Dove – which as the island’s National Bird is a symbol of the country’s distinctiveness and its culture – simply to provide sea-views to people from away. —Margaret Atwood & Graeme Gibson, Honorary Patrons of BirdLife’s Rare Bird Club
