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.

NCIOS Field Trip to Illinois Beach State Park

For those in the Northern Illinois area, I will be leading a birding field trip for North Central Illinois Ornithological Society (NCIOS) to Illinois Beach State Park on November 14th, 2009.

Meeting Place: Menard’s at Highway 173 and 251 in Machesney Park, IL
Time: 7:00 AM (we will depart within a few minutes so don’t be late!)
Or, feel free to meet at Illinois Beach State Park’s south entrance near Zion, IL around 9:00 AM at the parking lot by the nature center.

Illinois Beach is a wonderful park with some interesting diversity of flora and fauna. This may be an off time but we should have some good birds out on the lakefront.

Bring your spotting scope and I’ll also be able to demonstrate digiscoping with my Swarovski Setup for anyone interested.
