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.

Whitefish Point Bird Observatory

Whitefish Point Bird Observatory is located on a point north of Paradise, Michigan in the U.P. (You can see the little point sticking out on this Google Earth image.)

Unfortunately, the Bird Observatory has a less than desirable Website, but the area birding makes up for it. The point attracts tons of birds during migration (both spring and fall). Some of the highlights are waterbirds such as loons, ducks, and grebes plus various raptors including many owls.

The northernly position of the point also offers many boreal species like Gray Jays, Evening Grosbeaks, Spruce Grouse, and Pine Grosbeaks. Also, this site has hosted nesting Piping Plovers on the area beaches.
