Below are some other blogs by birders, photographers, biologists, and writers that we’re sure you’ll love…

This Just In: Pesticides are a huge concern for birds, and we plan to blog about this several times in the future. For now, two groups have come to our attention that are doing important work to stop the spread of these insidious chemicals that are killing birds and degrade our environment. One is ConsumerNotice.org, which is currently working on the RoundUp issue. The other is the American Bird Conservancy, which is taking a lead role to ban neonicotinoids. Please check out and support these groups!
