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.

Nestwatch.org Citizen Science Project

Nestwatch is a newly launched citizen science project from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Funded by the National Science Foundation, Nestwatch promises to be not only fun but also scientifically valuable.

Of course, to truly make this project work, your help is needed. All materials and instructions are available at www.nestwatch.org. Anyone can help and if you are worried about disturbing birds, there are details about how to monitor safely.

As Peter Marra from the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center puts it,

“Each and every observation is important because it helps scientists measure the impact of such things as climate change and habitat destruction. Without citizens across the country collecting this information for us it would be almost impossible to track these large-scale destructive processes.”

Please sign up at www.nestwatch.org

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology is dedicated to interpreting and conserving the earth’s biological diversity through research, education, and citizen science focused on birds.
