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.

Improving Power Lines for Raptors

raptor_protection.jpgIn a joint effort, the Avian Power Line Interaction Committee, Edison Electric Institute (EEI) and the California Energy Commission have put out a new edition to the publication, Suggested Practices for Raptor Protection on Power Lines. The book has helped provide an increased awareness of the problems raptors have with dealing with power lines and solutions not only here in the U.S. but worldwide.

It is wonderful to see programs from non bird-related organizations that benefit birds. EEI also has produced the publication Mitigating Bird Collisions with Power Lines.
