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 State Park – Spring is Coming!

March has finally arrived and the dullness of February has already lifted. We spent part of the morning birding at a favorite local spot, Rock Cut State Park. Despite it being a bit cold and slow birding wise, there were a few definite signs that spring is getting closer.

For starters, we found a large group of American Robins along with a Northern Shrike. Northern Cardinals were singing their “berlin” song and the Downy Woodpeckers are courting.

But the biggest sign of good birds to come is that despite there being hardly any open water, a group of Lesser Scaups and a couple of American Coots were feeding in the lake. March should be good for a lot of waterfowl and we can’t wait for spring to really bring in the birds.
