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.

Rare Bird in Arizona – Sinaloa Wren

Matt Brown of The Patagonia Birding and Butterfly Company in Arizona and Robin Baxter found a singing Sinaloa (Bar-vented) Wren at the Nature Conservancy’s Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve in Patagonia, Arizona.

This will be a new record for the ABA area and the search is on to re-locate the bird, seen Monday morning between ten and ten forty-five. Matt Brown was able to get a photograph of the bird which is posted on the Arizona Field Ornithologists‘ site. He was also able to record the sound for further documentation.

Sinaloa Wren

Thanks to Glen Tepke for permission to use photo – This photo shows the amazing tail of this awesome wren.

Rick Wright of Aimophila Adventures posted some photos of the bird for identification help for those in search of the Sinaloa Wren. The entire Birdfreak Team is wishing they were 1400 miles closer to the excitement!

Just a clarification that my photo of a Sinaloa Wren above is not the AZ bird – the photo was taken near Puerto Vallarta in Jalisco, Mexico. Congrats to Matt Brown for a great find, and to Birdfreak for a very interesting blog.
