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.

Veery and Snowy Owl

I would like you all to welcome my two sisters to the Birdfreak Birding Blog.  There real names are Jennie and Susie, but for the blog they are going by Veery (Jennie) and Snowy Owl (Susie).

Veery is starting her new major at Northern Illinois University (NIU) in De Kalb, Illinois.  She has decided on Geography because it is the category where natural environmental systems falls under.  Her goal is habitat restoration, hopefully with a place like the Nature Conservancy or the likes.  She will be posting tons of cool stuff about how the topics in her major relate to birds and conservation (and other fun stuff).
Snowy Owl is a graduate from NIU (as am I) and has an English degree.  She is a super writer and I am hoping she will have lots of time to write detailed bird and nature book reviews as well as insightful ideas about conservation and birding.

    Welcome to both! I must say the title of this entry got me going–an unlikely conjunction of species!
    Best wishes for a birdful 2007,
    Rick

    There have been some Snowy Owl sightings in northerrn Illinois the last view days. Unfortunately, I will be longing for Veeries for a few months.
