    Birding on the Run - Any other combo hobbyist out there?

    I found an interest in birding and then soon after started running a lot more consistently. Soon I found myself spotting birds on my casual easy runs basically blending the two interest. I decided to make a video "blog" capturing a more birding focused easy run at a local park in Lakeland, FL...

    Birding tours in Hawaii in June?

    Hi, In Mid-June to early July, I'm traveling to Kauai, Big Island, and Oahu with my teenage son who is a passionate birder. Any recommendations for endemic bird tours, local birding guides or specific places to go? I can't seem to find any tours that offer dates during that period of time.
