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.

Who Was Edward Max Nicholson?

Edward Max Nicholson was born on July 12, 1904 and was the founder of the World Wildlife Fund. Nicholson also wrote The Art of Bird-Watching which led to the formation of the British Trust for Ornithology. He was also involved in the forming of International Union for Conservation of Nature, which later became the World Conservation Union.

Nicholson’s involvement in ornithology and conservation was lifelong. He was at one point a leader for the Nature Conservancy and president of the Royal Society for the Protection for Birds. While most of his work was in England, Nicholson’s achievements are felt by birders worldwide. He was and still is an inspiration for conservation.
