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.

Severson Dells – Birding and Blog

Severson Dells Environmental Education Center is part of the Winnebago County Forest Preserve District and provides a lot of education opportunities as well as good birding. Nearly every month there are guided bird walks led by naturalist Phil Schwab. These are excellent for beginning birders and enjoyable for experts.

Severson Dells - February 2007

The education center is a converted deer lodge that has a small museum, library, and bookstore/giftshop that is open 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday-Saturday and 1:00-5:00 PM on Sundays. There are various areas to watch feeder birds from inside which is a great place in the winter – Common Redpolls, Purple Finches, Tufted Titmice, and Pine Siskins are some of the possibilities.

There is a self-guided, paved nature trail that takes you through woods, prairie, creek, and a pond. Spring migration and winter are excellent times to bird here. For up-to-date info, visit the Severson Dells Blog or the Winnebago Birding Guide
