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.

Milky Way [Skywatch Friday]

The night sky is mysterious and awesome. Looking up on a clear night, you can imagine all the migrant birds making their way unafraid beneath the starry galaxy known as the Milky Way.

    What an amazing pic! It is skies like these that make you realise how very small you are in the galactic scheme of things!
