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.

Song Sparrow et all

I was pleasently surprised to find a Song Sparrow outside my bedroom window this morning, mingling with the Dark-eyed Juncos. These birds are so common when I’m out birding but in our yard they are seldom found (compared to other sparrows like Fox and White-throated). This is probably what I love most about birding. No matter how many times you see a bird you never know when one will show up in an odd place, at an odd time, or in an odd quantity. Nothing about birding is really a guarantee and it is always interesting.

Birds seem to be moving about all over because the temperature is over 70 degrees! I finally spotted a Robin officially in our yard (in a tree in our yard). Spring is here! I have a feeling a Fox Sparrow will arrive soon. We also had a Hairy Woodpecker, not seen nearly as much as our resident Downy pair or the loud Red-bellies.

    -Song Sparrows are interesting because there are so many variations.Hairy Woodpeckers are impressive looking compared to the Downy.They are supposed to be more solitary too.
