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.

Surf Scoter – Photo Lifelist #242

October 19, 2008
Article in: Photography

This weekend we had the opportunity to test out Birdfreak’s work camera, a Canon EOS 50D DSLR. This camera has a lot of potential and we will try to give it a full review after using it a bit while longer. In short, the 50D shoots a bit over 6 frames a second and has 15.1 megapixels of resolution, a nice upgrade from our Rebel XTi (which we will still be using most of the time).

This Surf Scoter has been hanging around one of our favorite haunts, Rock Cut State Park, and we had the opportunity to digiscope it for #242 on our Photo Lifelist.
