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.

Phriday Photo – Blue-headed Vireo

A bird knows nothing of gladness,
Is only a song machine.
- George MacDonald, “A Book of Dreams”

Your pic. inspired me to inquire of you!
Here in my city of Coronado, Ca., the olive trees are now sprayed with something that keeps them from making olives. I have loved watching the birds rejoice with gladness whenever the numerous trees supplied them with their bounty. Now they have nothing. Doesn’t this seem shortsighted to keep the streets clean of olives but not feed the birds?

Cindy – unfortunately there is a lot of short-sightedness with regard to this sort of thing. Many cities “landscape” in such ways as to make things look unnatural and artificially “pretty” when leaving nature alone is always more beautiful.

The Blue-headed Vireo was one of my earlier migrants this year. I hadn’t seen one in a long time, so it was quite welcome.
