Welcome to Birdwatching

Chicago, December 12, 2006 — As you may have noticed, the Words of Prey Message Board has shut down and moved to LiveJournal under the new moderation of longtime co-mod extraordinaire, Min! Everyone go sign up and comment away!

With no ill-will toward Birds of Prey of which I remain a dedicated fan, my life and interests have gone in new directions, and I need to prioritize what I put my energies into. The Birdwatching content will NOT be going away. What you will find here is the archive of the first 100 issues and all that came before for this wonderful title.

Thanks to everyone who has supported Birdwatching. It's been a great ride, and I can honestly say that my life would never have been the same if it hadn't been for the Birds. Seriously. I may blog about it sometime.

Check out this terrific behind-the-scenes look at how a colorist works. Brian Miller of Hi-Fi Colour Design breaks down Birds of Prey #84 and gives us a look inside the color studio.

Welcome to Birdwatching: Birds of Prey, the first website ever dedicated to the terrific Birds of Prey comics. This is an archive of content, collecting information, reviews, gallery images, and random meanderings of the Birds first 100 issues plus the one-shots and specials the preceded it. I chose to stop updating the site with issue #100 not because I was or am no longer a fan but because my life and interests had changed over the years. I still love the Birds but I no longer have the time or the same passion for chronicling their adventures as I once did. It was a wonderful ride, and I learned a lot and met such wonderful people during this time. I'll be forever thankful the Birds came along. They changed my life.
