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.

Rock Cut Monday

I stopped by Rock Cut today after stopping by work for a little while. (I had to make sure everything was going to be ready for the holiday.) The lake was only about 10% frozen thanks to the unseasonably warm weather. There was a decent smattering of waterfowl Canada Geese, Cackling Geese, Mallards, Coots, Great Blue Heron, Common Goldeneye, Ring-billed Gull, Herring Gull, and Hooded Mergansers. Also of interest was a Muskrat munching on some water grasses near the Lion Den fishing pier. I briefly stopped by the beach on the other lake at the park. It was frozen solid, but that is ok since I wanted to check the praire area there for possible Meadowlarks. I was rewarded with a Rough-Legged Hawk perched on some sort of tower. He/She stayed for about 10 mins as I watched until the Crows started to move in.
