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.

Sad News From Florida

The entire group of 18 Whooping Cranes that flew through Winnebago County just last fall perished in the awful storms in Florida.  The young cranes began their journey from Necedah National Wildlife Refuge in Wisconsin and spent two days on local farmland in Winnebago (my county).  This is a terrible setback for this amazing project.

If you wish to support this project check out Operation Migration.  Our hearts go out to all the hard workers that are helping the cranes out and of course to the young ones that died so tragically.

    Just heard on NBC news that one of those 18 were found alive! After counting they only had 17 there and a signal coming from their transmitters which lead them to the live one!
