Birdwatching for Beginners

Bird watching is a sport that has been around for years.

In fact, today, bird watching is the second fastest growing

hobby in America, bested only by gardening. A whole new

language has emerged along with it. Those in the know also

refer to bird watching simply as “birding” and the people

who do it as “birders”.

People of all ages enjoy seeking out the birds of their

region, watching them in their natural habitat, and enjoying

the songs they have to offer. Birds can be fascinating

creatures with much to offer those who care to study their

lives. Much can be learned from where they roost, how they

fly, and what they sing. We can even go so far as to say

that watching birds can reveal things about nature and the

beauty that exists in nature.
