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.

Shorebird Battles – Semipalmated Plovers

In a much more relaxed argument than the fighting Ruddy Turnstones, these digiscoped Semipalmated Plovers were trying to work out their disagreements through words (or peeps).

Step one – stick out your booty

Thanks to Swarovski Optik for loaning out a wonderful spotting scope to allow for these digiscoped images of shorebirds.

    Who knew that an integral part of a Semipalmated Plover showdown is the sticking out of the booty?
