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 (and Video) – Pine Siskin & American Goldfinch

Side-by-side comparison of an American Goldfinch (left) and Pine Siskin who were hanging out on our thistle feeder. This was digiscoped with the Birdfreak Swarovski Digiscoping Setup through a window. Camera was our Nikon Coolpix 5100 (point-and-shoot).

Video clip also through the scope and Nikon camera.

View all our videos which include not only birds but the world famous, Arizona Doberman (and some other stuff as well).

Great shot! (I’ll have to see the videos later–the work computer doesn’t typically play them.) Sorry for my recent, long absence. Been a lot going on in my life. Best to you & your (& your birds,) in 2009!

Awww! I love the Gold finches, they are so special. We have so many in our yard, but I enjoy seeing them often in new and different places, like the parking lot of the mall, where you would not expect them.

They are special birds!
