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.

    I love that shade of blue, just gorgeous. That’s amazing how you captured the bird in flight. They almost look to big to fly! lol

    Absolutely lovely shot! I’ll never forget when I first saw these birds. My husband & I were visiting my bro’s family in Florida. While out for a walk, we saw what we thought were 2 statues…then they moved!
