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.

    How beautiful! Almost makes me miss those cold snowy days in Urbana when I’d be out shoveling and have Lapspurs fly over; no matter how fogged my glasses and how frozen my nose, I’d always look up.
    Good luck on the new CBC

    That Lapland Longspur is gorgeous! I am getting excited to begin our CBCs in Fall River Mills, California, this Sunday. The first of three in our local area of Northern California. We counted 119 species last year including many raptors, geese, ducks and other water fowl plus a lone Mountain Bluebird! We logged 97 species on a trip up there just 4 weeks ago when the weather was good. Weather calls for snow Sunday but we should get lots of water birds and raptors and have a great time doing it. Oh how I love this time of year and the CBCs.

    Have a great time Sunday and get some of those super photos for us will ya?
