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.

Kishwaukee River in Winter

The Kishwaukee River in Winnebago county (N. Illinois) is always good for birding and a gorgeous place all times of the year. The recent snow (and more snow Sunday) creates a nice effect on the bare trees and flowing water.

There was a Red-tailed Hawk flying around but the pictures didn’t turn out that well. We spotted bushels of Tree (bush?) Sparrows and a Belted Kingfisher was patrolling the river.


I have taken up the hobby of writing Birdfreak.com in the snow at area forest preserves. This preserve was devoid of any humans but a gang of Chickadees scolded our efforts. Otherwise the birding was a little weak so it was back to work on our various conservation projects.
