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 – Mob Mentality

5 American Crows vs. Red-tailed Hawk

Red-tail vs Crow

Red-tail's Shadow

Only one crow continued the mobbing session, following the hawk higher and higher until they were both specs. The Red-tail had the upper hand the entire time, gliding with ease as the crow struggled to gain altitude.
