Binoculars-Spotting Scopes and Bird watching
Bird watching?
Migration is the regular seasonal journey, the most common pattern involves flying north in the spring and returning in the fall to wintering grounds in warmer regions to the south. Bird movements are made in response to changes in food habitat or weather. Many bird populations migrate long distances.
How when and where?
Getting Started: You can attract birds to your yards with just a little work. Planting the right flowers and bird house will attract birds
The best way to start is to go with someone who has been birding for a while. If you don’t have friends that bird, try finding a local birding club. Join a group of other birders.
Chose a Bird Guide: A good bird guide has clear easy to recognize, color illustrations.
Guided bird tours have become a major business with companies offering tours worldwide
Birding Ethics (and for travel anywhere)
> Be quiet, avoid harassment; don’t disturb the birds.
> Be extra careful during the breeding season of the birds.
>Do not handle eggs or young or disturb nests.
> Follow all rules of national parks and wildlife sanctuaries.
> Divide larger groups of people into smaller more manageable numbers.
>Leave no litter or trash, carry it back with you.
>Try to leave the place you visit better then when you arrived, if you see trash pick it up pack it out.
>Being polite goes a long way to being invited back
