What To Expect When You’re Married To A Birder

Having been married to a non birder for a long time, we’ve had to negotiate certain things. You will find yourself having strange arguments and in hindsight, funny misunderstandings. Here’s a video example that Non Birding Bill and I made that anyone considering marring a birder who is a non birder may want to check [...]

Birdchick After Dark: Great Blue Herons

For your amusement and maybe use headphones if you are watching this at work:

So…while playing around with the ATX in Florida, Non Birding Bill and I had a crazy spectacular thing happen. We were both filming herons. He was using his HD camera, I was using my ATX and Nikon V1. We both [...]

Digiscoping Video

Non Birding Bill and I made some videos in Florida with the new Swarovski ATX spotting scope. If you have not been to Florida, warning, this will make you want to hop a plane and go down there.

My Scope’s Travels

I love how eerie these bleached out crows look–something [...]

New Swarovski Digiscoping Set Up With the ATX

I had such high hopes for the start of 2013. I am back freelancing, I set some minor digiscoping goals for the blog, I downloaded apps on my iPhone and iPad to synch things and make sharing links via all my social medias and easy cheesy process. I spent the week between Christmas and New [...]

Wait, That’s A Bird Name & Not A Disease?

One of my favorite parts of travel is when I find myself in a completely different habitat from where I live. It’s amazing to think how much there is to see and how different area terrain can be in the United States. I can travel from one end of the country to another, wake [...]
