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.

We’re On A Boat On the Na Pali Coast

Me on a Boat on Na Pali Coast

As part of our honeymoon in Hawaii, Stacia and I booked a 5-hour boat ride and snorkeling excursion along the Na Pali Coast of Kauai, Hawaii. The scenery was worth the trip alone but we also were able to view a large pod of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins (over 100) right next to the boat.

Spinner Dolphins jump out of the water and do 1-3 flips in the air. It was an awesome spectacle!

After heading up the coast, we turned around and found an area to do some snorkeling. The water was a bit rough and it was our first time snorkeling. I had some trouble getting used to it because I later discovered my gear was on wrong. But as you’ll find out in future posts, we got really good at snorkeling and found tons of stuff on the Big Island.

We then returned to the boat for some more scenery and some awesome Hawaiian Mai-Tais!

    Congratulations! Looks like y’all had a GREAT time! Thanks for sharing all of the wonderful photos. Sorry for the delay in my comment–I had a pretty brutal migraine for a while there.
