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 are working to promote other areas of conservation. 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.

Phriday Photo – Digiscoped American Goldfinch

Lately I’ve been trying to get out with just the digiscoping rig to get photos. Unfortunately, the birds have been hard to find and non-cooperating. This weekend will hopefully be full of shorebirds and a long digiscoping session which will be part of the New Birder Experience!

Did manage this average shot of an American Goldfinch

The dull, lethargic goldfinches of winter are changing feathery clothes, providing comical variations of their soon to be fabulous plumage. This one is getting close!!

Side-by-side comparison of an American Goldfinch (left) and Pine Siskin who were hanging out on our thistle feeder. This was digiscoped with the Birdfreak Swarovski Digiscoping Setup through a window. Camera was our Nikon Coolpix 5100 (point-and-shoot).

Video clip also through the scope and Nikon camera.
