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 – Owls Up Close and Personal

On our recent trip to Magee Marsh for the Biggest Week in American Birding we stopped by a demonstration of rehabilitated raptors. Back to the Wild, a rehabilitation center located in Castalia, Ohio had several birds but the owls stole the show. Not surprising because OWLS ARE SO COOL!!
