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 – Burning

Recently, I stumbled across a prescribed burn in action at one of our county Forest Preserves in northern Illinois.

Rockford Rotary Forest Preserve, 11/13

The after-burn wasn’t as interesting as during the burn but it was fun to walk around the charred earth and listen to the birds, singing as any normal blustery November day…

    I bet when you return next year that you can hardly find any remnants of the burn!
