Birds, Conservation & the Great Outdoors

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.

Excellent capture. I was recently traveling and surprised by pelicans in South Dakota. I didn’t even get one shot, so this is a little consolation!

Excellent shot! During a visit to La Crosse last spring, we were surprised to see a pelican on Mississippi River levee. We grew up there and never saw one in the area until then. We had no idea they came so far north. A worker on one of the paddleboats docked at Riverside Park said they sometimes follow the barges up from delta.

Pelikans are such cool dudes. We can only see them in the zoo, but they always seem to love the camera.

Wren – Pelicans really are camera-friendly!!
Louise – I still am surprised to have them in the general area of Rockford, IL
MJ – that is cool… makes sense they’d follow the barges. I was surprised how far north they go to. Especially since “pelicans” are usually assumed to be the brown ones at ocean docks.
Gwendolen – they are definitely sooo cool. And also pretty odd fellows
